Hiring a qualified and experienced home inspector before you purchase your next home can save you a lot of money down the road. The inspector will focus on your home’s structure, construction, and mechanical systems and tell you about any necessary repairs. A good agent should include an inspection clause as part of any offer when negotiating to purchase a home. By including an inspection clause, you maintain the right to opt-out of the purchase should serious problems be found, and allows you the flexibility to negotiate for the necessary repairs. We know a number of qualified inspectors in the Birmingham, Blomfield Hills area who can help you when the time comes.
