What should I do before having a home inspector come to inspect my property?

Before having a home inspector come to inspect your property, there are several things you can do to prepare for the inspection and to ensure that the inspection is thorough and comprehensive. Some key steps to take before a home inspector comes to inspect your property include:

  • Review the property and make a list of any potential issues or concerns that you have noticed. This can include things like visible damage to the roof or foundation, water stains on the ceiling, or other issues that you have observed.
  • Gather any relevant documents and information about the property, such as the age of the roof or HVAC system, any recent repairs or upgrades that have been made, or other relevant information.
  • Make sure that the property is accessible and that the inspector will be able to access all areas of the property, including the attic, crawl space, and any other areas that need to be inspected.
  • Clear any clutter or obstructions from the property to make it easier for the inspector to access and inspect all areas of the property.
  • Ensure that all systems and appliances are in working order and that the inspector will be able to test and evaluate them as part of the inspection.

Overall, taking these steps before a home inspector comes to inspect your property can help to ensure that the inspection is thorough and comprehensive and that any potential issues or concerns are identified and addressed.
