Whether first time buyer or buying for the second or third time, hiring a good inspector is always recommended.
A professional inspector will have a checklist of things they look at including the roof, foundation, windows, attic insulation, heating/cooling system, plumbing, electrical, exterior siding and grading and all included appliances. You will want an inspector that allows you to be a part of the inspection process so you can ask questions as he/she goes through the home looking at the structure. At the end of the inspection, most inspectors will provide you with a written report that will often include photos of any defects or concerns that you can discuss with the seller.
If you do negotiate any repairs to be made for by the seller, it is important to check for completion in the final walk through just before the closing. In fact, it is a good idea to bring a checklist of everything reviewed during the inspection to make sure that nothing has changed since writing the purchase agreement.
If you are interested in a checklist, I have one on my website. The link is below.
Best of luck with your home purchase!
