10 - Real Estate: The Oakville Beaver, W ednesday January 18, 2006 Home inspections are a small price to pay for peace of mind Generally, the hone inspection should include an inspection and report on the homes foundation, roof, exterior, interior, attic, insulation, win dows, plumbing, heating, and electri cal. The purpose of the home inspec tion is to describe the condition of the house from a professional and objec tive point of view. The report should identify potential problem areas in the future. There's no question that the servic es the home inspector provides can be invaluable. They provide buyers with the tools to make an informed decision regarding the purchase of the home, and future cost estimates for the repair of the home. Minor flaws, such as chipped paint and nail pops, are typical ly not included in the home inspection. These tiny defects should be visible and apparent to the buyer and involve little maintenance or repair. Home inspections are intend ed to identify any major defects, system inade quacies, or safety haz ards at the time of the purchase so that the buyer is not surprised with any unpleasant problems or financial burdens after the purchase.
