If you haven’t hired a home inspector in Louisville yet here’s four tips you can use to get the most value out of your home inspection.

Hire a Professional Home Inspector

The first step to having the Louisville home you are interested in buying inspected is to hire an experienced home inspector who also has experience with working on homes in the local area.

Tip – One of the best ways to guarantee that you’ve hired a great home inspector is to search for home inspectors online via websites like Yelp which can also show feedback from current or past clients.

Be Prepared For the Home Inspection

Before the actual Louisville Home inspection you should take the time to write down your questions about the home and also concerns that you may have since this will be your absolute best opportunity to get your questions answered about the home by a true professional.

You should also bring all documentation about the property to the home inspection including property disclosures and information from the building department in the area just so both your home inspector can start the home inspection off with knowledge about what issues the home may have.

Observe Your Home Inspector at Work

As your home inspector is doing their job you should take the time to follow them around and ask questions as they are inspecting the home rather than sit in your vehicle and wait for them to finish.

Create a Maintenance Plan

Another important thing to do during your home inspection is for you to create a maintenance plan of all the “little things” which might need to be fixed in the home after you move in.

For example: HVAC air filter, plumbing valves, toilet, p-trap under bathroom sink or water heater. All of these parts of a home wear down over time and should be fixed or replaced sooner, rather than later to avoid an increased cost.
