Everyone needs to keep in mind that virtually all of the housing stock
here in the Newburyport Area is USED!
The purpose of a home inspection is to inform a Buyer about what he or
she is buying.
Buyers should understand that when making an offer, a Buyer should
budget to spend their own funds toward the repairs suggested by their
home inspector. It would not be unusual for that sum to add up to
several thousand dollars, and Buyers should take this into consideration
when they make their offer, so that they don't feel they overpaid if
they discover things that need to be fixed in the home.
No home is perfect no matter how well cared for. Property is priced
taking into consideration its location, size, configuration, number of
rooms, bedrooms, baths, lot size and general condition.
It is the job of all home inspectors to highlight maintenance issues,
look for pests and insects, point out needed repairs, assess structural
condition and scrutinize major systems like plumbing, electric, heat and
roof.
Home Inspectors are not licensed Appraisers and should have no opinion
of value on the house.
