For The Home Buyer:
Buying a home can be a stressful process. But chances are, most of your inspection will be related to maintenance recommendations and minor imperfections. These are good to know about.
The issues that really matter will fall into 4 categories:
1. Major defects, such as structural failure
2. Conditions that can lead to major defects, such as a roof leak
3. issues that may hinder your ability to finance, legally occupy, or insure the home if not rectified immediately
4. Safety hazards, such as an exposed, live buss bar at the electrical panel
Anything in these categories should be addressed as soon as possible. It's important to realize that a seller is under no obligation to repair everything mentioned in your inspection report.
