Why You Need What A RI Home Inspection Professional Can Give You

By Elizabeth Wright


It does not matter whether you are buying or selling a house, you need some help to do this in an informed way. If you are selling, you want to know if there is anything wrong with structure so you can tell the buyers. If you are buying, you want to know the same things so you can, maybe save some money on a house that is not quite right. That is why you need the services of a RI home inspection professional.

Most of the construction companies, in the State of RI will have a list of these companies or individuals. Many real estate personnel will also have a listing. That will tell you how important these experts can be. They will need to know, not only what things should look like, but also the local and state regulations and building codes.

What this inspection accomplishes is to identify what is wrong and right with the structure. A seller wants to know if there is anything they must tell the potential buyer. This usually means termites, mold and the like. It would also include any appliances that do not operate properly or pipes getting ready to give out.

If you are the buyer, you will want to know about anything that can be used, in a negotiation to get a better price. This will include things you may be willing to live with, for a short time and for which the seller should have fixed, but did not. You will have to balance the cost of the house with the costs of fixing those things you overlook.

The inspecting professional will want to get into all spaces within the walls. They all come from the many construction trades, so there safety is assured through their processes. They will need to access the crawlspaces, under and above all living spaces, as an example of their thoroughness.

The attic will also be looked at. This space will need to be checked for appropriate insulation and to verify substructure for the roof. The presence of molds, moisture and any water, leaking from any fire suppression systems, will also be looked into. The roof will also be walked to ensure everything is stable and nothing is loose. The chimney is, likewise, inspected for safe operation.

All appliances will be looked at to determine operative conditions. All faucets in the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry rooms are checked. A decision, based on long experience will indicate the potential life span left in any appliances and other equipment present.

You really need this inspection report, whether you are the seller or buyer. The reasons are that this gives you a fairly complete snapshot of what the house is doing or allowing to to be done. It is the best chance you have of making the case about whether the house is better than listed, for the seller, or worse than that, for the buyer.
