Lehigh Valley Home Buyer Property Inspections

As part of a home purchase, Lehigh Valley Home Buyers usually get a Property Inspection sometimes called a home inspection.

The Property Inspection is done to find problems or material deficiencies in the home. Depending on the results of the inspection, the buyer may ask the seller for repairs. If the home seller doesn't agree, the buyer may opt to walk away from the sale.

Some of the problems are clear cut.

There is an electrical problem with an outlet in the kitchen. The home buyer would like it repaired.

Others problems are in the gray area.

The furnace is 25 years old. The average lifetime on this furnace is 20 years. It looks good and is working great. It may work another year or it may last 10 more years.

The electric problem in the kitchen is a clearly defined deficiency, Asking for the repair is justified.

The Lehigh Valley Home Seller will probably not agree to replace a furnace that is in good working condition regardless of the age.

Maintaining a home is part of home ownership and things are going to break. Some items are pointed out in a Property Inspection to forewarn the buyer that they will need to fix or replace something down the road.
