You’ve found a home you want to buy, put in an offer and are now under contract! Congratulations!
Now what?
Now you need to have the property inspected to make sure you’re investing in a quality home. Issues that are found can either dissuade you from buying a lemon or become potential negotiation points for getting a better deal on the property.
One of the most common observations we come across inspecting homes in Colorado are cracked foundations, most commonly made of poured concrete, concrete masonry units or brick. This issue is also a higher priority item a potential buyer may consider when deciding to go forward with or walk away from the purchase of a home.
A common issue that we as home inspectors are running into currently is the phase out of R-22 refrigerant also known as HCFC-22. If your system was installed before 2010, there is a high probability that it contains R-22 refrigerant which will be impacted by the change that is occurring January 1, 2020.
One question that we receive on a daily basis is “what does your home inspection include?”. What does a standard home inspection cover? That’s a great question, and an extremely reasonable one for anyone about to hire a home inspector. Well, the answer differs depending on whom you ask, but it shouldn’t differ greatly if you are asking a reputable home inspector or home inspection firm.
