Many home buyers aren’t aware of the importance of a home inspection in India, and if they are, they’re probably treading on thin ice. This is because the balance of power is very heavily stacked in the builder’s favor and the home buyer wants to avoid antagonising the builder. However, it’s important to be aware of some warning signs when buying a home so that you can choose a trustworthy inspector.
New York State’s Department of Consumer Protection primarily relies on information provided to it by applicants and licensees. The only information that isn’t publicly available is a home inspector’s residence address. That’s because information about residence addresses is protected under the state’s privacy law. Home inspectors who wish to perform residential inspections in New York must obtain a license to do so. Alternatively, those licensed in another state can apply for a license to do so.
Another important role of home inspectors is to evaluate real estate properties. The report produced by these inspectors is used to determine the home’s value. The home inspection can save you thousands of dollars in repairs later, and can even save you from buying a money pit. In a nutshell, a home inspector will examine the structure of the house and check out major appliances, heating and air conditioning systems, plumbing systems, and more. In addition, they’ll poke around in the basement.
