So, your offer got accepted and you jump up and down in joy. The escrow is opened and now what? Now it's the time to get busy and start getting your loan and inspection done.
I can't stress enough the importance of getting an experienced and honest home inspector. The average cost of home inspection for single family home is about $395.
After inspecting your future new home, he will tell you what's wrong with the house, whether you should get a specialist to inspect the roof, plumbing, mold, etc. If there are defects in the house, you can go back to the seller and ask for reduction in sale prices, or request repair. You can even back-out if you are still in your contingency period.
According to HUD, here are ten things you should as the inspector before you agree to use him.
This applies also to new home purchases.
