WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS AFTER THE INSPECTION?
After being in the real estate industry for more than 28 years, I always advise my clients to obtain a home inspection and make it a Condition in their offer submission.
I want to protect the interests of my clients and inserting those Conditions does just that.
One of the questions I am often asked is: “what happens after the home inspection?”
Then the next series of questions they ask are:
- Do I have options after the inspection?
- Who pays for any repairs that may be required?
- Can I walk away from the deal?
- Do I get my deposit back?
There is a simple answer… you have four (4) options available to you… and here they are!
- If the home inspection is satisfactory, then you simply sign a “Waiver” or a “Fulfilment of Condition” document to satisfy the Condition and essentially remove it from the Offer.
- You can request the Seller to make any repairs of replacements if there is any work to be done, OR
- If you prefer to make the repairs/replacements yourself, you can ask for a price reduction in lieu cost of the repairs you will need to make, OR
- You can walk away from the deal. You, along with the Seller sign a “Mutual Release” and get all your deposit back in full.
THE PURPOSE OF THE INSPECTION
Please keep in mind the purpose of a home inspection is to identify any major structural damage or repairs that need to be made…. Its not for minor items like a leaky faucet, or paint chipping off the wall, holes left in the walls from pictures, or a light switch that doesn’t work. All homes will have some minor items that Buyer should be aware of… The only time to be concerned with the results of a home inspection is if the shingles need to be replaced, or the furnace is at the end of its life… These are major items that would incur substantial cost to repair/replace.
