Hiring of a licensed building inspector when you make an offer on a home can supply you with needed information about flaws or necessary repairs to the home. The offer can be structured to stipulate that it is contingent on a satisfactory report from the inspector. The building inspector should check the following:

• Plumbing System
• Air Conditioning and Heating Systems
• Electrical
• Construction
• Roof and Foundation
• Insulation
• Appliances

It is always a good idea for the buyer to attend the home inspection, not only to learn of any problems, but to learn about the maintenance and operation of the various home systems.
