You accepted an offer on your house, the appraisal came in where you wanted it, and now you have to get through the inspection. Sounds easy, right? Perhaps it will be. If, however, you feel anxious about what the inspection may uncover, take advantage of these six things we at Step By Step Inspections recommend to prepare for a home inspection.
Does the cleanliness of your home impact the elements of a general home inspection? No. Does the cleanliness of your home provide an impression of you as a homeowner? Sure, it does. When you go into a home for the first time, you immediately recognize its condition. Whether you are invited as a guest to a friend's home for the first time, or you're providing service for a customer, you notice if the home is clean and picked up, and you especially notice if it's a disaster. Your home doesn't have to be spotless, but ensuring it is clean and orderly before the inspection goes a long way.
Before the inspection, you may choose to take the initiative to fix anything you know will be captured in an inspection report. Rotting wood, electrical issues, water leaks, and environmental issues such as mold or radon are sure to catch attention. You can also remediate any pool or spa issues. In this way, you can correct issues in advance and limit areas of concern in the report.
