Home Protection PlanSome sellers provide a Home Protection Plan for the buyer that covers certain items for a one-year period like:
Heating and air conditioning systems Interior plumbing Built-in appliances Electric pool equipment If a Home Protection Plan is not provided on the home you contract for, you can acquire the coverage yourself. The price of programs will vary in price and coverage and among carriers.
Home InspectionUsually, the seller will provide a property disclosure for interested buyers prior to writing a contract. This will declare the material facts about the physical condition of the property.
The areas of concern include but not limited to:
The property disclosure does not take the place of a buyer's inspection that is usually made after a contract is completed. A provision for a home inspection can be added to the sales contract identifying the areas to be inspected by a professional inspector. The purpose of the inspection is to find major defects in the home.
Mechanical - heating, air-conditioning, appliances. Plumbing - fixtures, lines, water heaters, sewers. Electrical - wiring, out of date systems. Structural - doors, windows, roof, foundation, drainage, ventilation, and environmental hazards. I will be happy to supply a list of recommended inspectors. You are encouraged to accompany the inspector to ask questions and receive a written report itemizing any areas of concern.
