Home Inspector vs. Appraiser /
Engineer A professional Home inspection will reduce the risk of
costly surprises and help you to stay proactive in what is likely to
be the largest purchase you will ever make.
Appraisal: A house
appraisal is an independent evaluation of the current market value
of a house or property. The purpose of an appraisal is to establish
a current market value of a house so that a lender may determine how
much it is willing to loan to the buyer. Appraisers look at similar
houses or properties in that area and also look at home prices so
that they can set values to the house. Appraisers work for the bank
not for you, and appraisers do not inspect a home
for defects.
Engineer: An engineer
is usually a professional with expertise in one specific area of a
home system. Occasionally, with one specific system of a home the
home buyer may need to have an analysis done. For example a
structural engineer may be needed if there are signs of major
structural defects. Engineers are sometimes referred.
You need a Home
Inspector. When you
hire a home inspector, you are hiring a professional that has been
trained and has the ability to not only evaluate the condition of
the house and it's systems, but also to evaluate how these systems
work together. Professional Home Inspectors can identify areas that
need to be watched, repaired, or replaced in regards to the entire
property, not just one specific system. This type of all system
evaluation can potentially save you thousands of dollars.
