Now what? Published November Hello and thank you for your help. I bought my house and took possession February 1, I knew that the home would require a good amount of work done. In addition there are also 2, that I know of notched floor joist and 2 floor joist that have a feet cut out completely.
Nothing has been added to support any of these issues. There are a few other things that they missed as well but nothing Structurally dangerous. I do need help finding who is responsible and how to get that party to fix these issues. The best thing to do is to contact your home inspection company. If they were reputable, they can guide you on if this is something they should have caught and assist in repairs , or advise you on other steps if this falls out of their scope.
Hello, I closed on my home October 1, The home was purchased 10 months earlier by a flipper and sat unoccupied for 10 years prior, therefore I made sure to hire an inspector. Only minor issues were noted on my report, my concern were big ticket items anyway.
There was no overflow drain on my tub, found out the hard way when water was leaking in my basement after my first bath. My inspector went on the roof and noted there was a patch job but it was done very well and I would get at least another 5 years out of my roof.
I was able to look on the City website at one point where the neighbor called the City on multiple occasions to notify them the roof was missing shingles years prior.
I assumed this was the patch that was performed. Do I have any recourse against the Inspector or the previous owner? I am sorry to hear about your situation. I would recommend documenting, speaking with your Realtor, and the home inspection company. If the people you hired were reputable you should be in good hands.
Thank you for this information. We recently had a pest problem and called a pest control company to come to an evaluation. During this initial evaluation, it was found that multiple main joists in the house are compromised, one has a very large and noticeable crack. Our floor is wavy as well, same with the ceiling. The foundation is cracked and the cinder blocks are falling apart.
None of this was noted on the inspection nor was the second crawlspace inspected. We have reached out to the inspection company and up until yesterday they were willing to work with us. Before finalizing an offer, hire a home inspector who will check the condition of the home. A home inspector will check things such as the electrical system, roof, and ventilation. Although a home inspector will thoroughly review a home, his or her main concern is the actual house, not the surrounding areas.
It is possible that your home inspector may miss problems around the home. Fences and outdoor buildings : Your inspector may skip the outside portion of your house, so make sure you double check the condition of fences and anything else outside the home. If these features are damaged, they can be an expensive hassle to repair. Make sure your fences, sheds are in top shape before you purchase your home.
Your offer has been accepted. There are no major problems disclosed by the seller, and the inspection comes back with a clean bill of health. Everything receives the green light and you proceed with the purchase. And then, a few months later, you discover a costly issue that, had you been aware of it, would have prevented the sale, or at least reopened price negotiations.
Inspectors can make mistakes, problems can be overlooked, and you can be left holding a bill for thousands of dollars repairing your new home. Fortunately, you may have legal options that can protect you and your bank account.
The inspector is responsible for alerting the buyer to most apparent problems with the home. The inspection report may allow the buyer to back out of the sale or renegotiate the terms based on the findings.
Never void your option for an inspection, even when buying a brand-new home. Inspections will run you a few hundred dollars, but inspections should not be skipped under any circumstances. Remember, an appraisal is not the same as an inspection.
