Myrtle Beach Home Inspectors

Whether you are selling your home or buying one, chances are you're going to need a home inspector for the upcoming mortgage company to approve the financing. Even if you are one of the few that pays cash for a home, you would be taking a big chance to forego having a home inspection before you buy.

Under normal conditions, the buyer is usually the one that pays for the home inspection. But if it comes down to losing or closing a sale, sometimes the seller will negotiate to pay for it instead. If you are selling your home, you might want to pay for and obtain an inspection before you list it, however, many buyers will still prefer to get their own. It will, however, give you a chance to repair or change any of the small things without the buyer having seen the problems.

If you are a potential buyer, your Realtor will likely know and recommend an inspector for you.

No matter how experienced you are in real estate, there are some things you should leave to the professionals. Licensed home inspectors are trained to look for things you would probably never consider. 

Home Inspectors Check:

• The heat and air conditioning system, age and condition.
• Plumbing and electrical systems, as much as can be seen.
• The roof. Are the shingles in good repair? Are there any stains in the ceiling that are suspect?
• He will check the home's foundation and a basement if there is one. Leakage and mold may hide there.
• Doors and Windows, checking for seals and leaks.
• Any visible insulation, in the attic or basement.
• Termite signs - many banks will require this.

Other Optional Inspections may include checking for Radon Gas or asbestos.

The average cost for a home inspection will range from $200 to $400, depending on the location, size, and condition of your home.
