The Official Guide to Home Inspections by Chris Perry
Will Your New House Deserve a Penalty Flag?Moving into a new house is exciting. For once, everything seems to be in perfect condition-you're ready to relax and enjoy it. But is it just a facade? Under the surface may lurk mold, termites, or gas leaks.
Time to throw the penalty flag And that's the specialty of professional home inspector Chris Perry. Also a high school football referee, Chris has written this book to educate you about home inspections-so that your next move will be unaccompanied by nasty surprises. Within these pages you will discover:
- Why a home inspection is essential, both for buyers and sellers
- How to pick a home inspector who's actually worth the money
- What types of inspections exist, and which you need
- How to maximize your benefit from the inspection report
- And much more
Reading this book won't make you a home inspector-just like reading a football rulebook won't make you a referee. But you will be equipped to make the right decision as you approach the significant step of buying a house. It's game time
