Home Inspection
You have 5 business days after acceptance to do a home inspection. This is a buyer’s expense. You are looking for major deficiencies in the home; (i.e. problems with the roof, furnace, central air conditioning, appliances, electrical, plumbing, etc.) An important part of this paragraph in the contract reads: “The home inspection shall cover only major components of the Real Estate, including but not limited to, central heating system(s), central cooling system(s), plumbing and well system, electrical system, roof, walls, windows, ceilings, floors, appliances, and foundation. A major component shall be deemed to be in operating condition if it performs the function for which it is intended, regardless of age, and does not constitute a threat to health or safety.
“BUYER AGREES MINOR REPAIRS AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ITEMS ARE NOT A PART OF THIS CONTINGENCY.”

They charge approximately $500-$700, which is due at the time of the inspection. There is an additional charge for a radon test or termite inspection. We can discuss this in more detail later. If we have any major deficiencies we will contact your attorney, and he/she will write a letter to the seller’s attorney regarding your concerns. At this point, we need to come to an agreement between both parties.
