What Every Home Buyer Should Know About Inspections!

A home is where memories and love are! When looking for a home of your own, you look at the style, design, qualities, and feel. Which are all very important, after all, it's where you will spend time with your close ones. If you're a first home buyer, many things must be considered before the final closing of the sale. One of which is an inspection. Since it's optional, some choose to not do any inspection. There are different types of inspections that can be performed, one of them is an air conditioner, and furnace functionality.

The life of an HVAC unit solely depends on the maintenance of a previous owner(s) and the quality of the install. A new full HVAC system can vary in price based on the brand, size of BTU, permits, and setup process. The repairs or replacement of the HVAC unit can be costly. When a specialized HVAC inspector comes out, they will review every aspect of the HVAC system and will make detailed notes. The buyer should review the results carefully with their realtor since this will be their chance to request the repairs, maintenance, or have an advantage on negotiating on the price of the sale to cover the cost of the repairs. They can also ask for concessions, and in worse case back out of the sale.
