When buying a new home, please don't just accept the seller's word that the residence is in good condition and that it is free of problems. It is very possible defects exist that are less than obvious to an untrained eye and of which the seller is unaware. It is in the buyer's best interest to, at the buyer's expense, hire a professional home inspector.
In most locations, the seller is required to provide for the buyer a Disclosure Form that details the property's features. This form also notifies the purchaser of any defects in the home of which the seller has knowledge. The buyer should take the time to read this completed disclosure form carefully. If there are flaws indicated that he/she finds unacceptable, the seller should be asked to correct the problems. If the seller refuses to fulfill the buyer's request, the buyer should be under no further obligation to complete the transaction.
To discover hidden or less obvious defects, a buyer can hire a professional home inspector to scrutinize the property. These professionals are trained to examine a house in detail and to find any problems that may affect a home's value. To find a quality home inspector, simply ask your Realtor for a list of recommendations.
