PEACE OF MIND
The inspector alerts you to the health and safety precautions you should take. Install smoke detectors and ground electrical outlets, and keep flammable products away from furnaces, heaters and fireplaces. These examples make your house safer for the next owner and safer for you as long as you continue living there.
LOCATING PROPERTY INSPECTORS
Locating house inspectors is usually relatively easy. One good source of property inspectors is your real estate agent. Ask for a list of property inspectors who perform only property inspections. Good professional inspectors earn their living solely from inspection fees and do not do corrective work.
SELLER'S PROPERTY DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
While caveat emptor (buyer beware) is still generally the law in Georgia, there are three situations where a seller of residential real estate can be held liable if they fail to disclose defects in the property.
