"CAVENT EMPTOR" Let the buyer beware- However in a case where the property presents a heath hazard the seller must inform the buyer. I would recommend that everyone buying a home have a home inspection done. If you can't afford that then at least have a family member with some knowledge of construction look it over. It's funny to me that when someone buys’s a used car they look under hood, crawl under to check for links, and the preverbal kicking of the tires. So look the property over check in the attic check under the property and if you’re scared of spiders make your agent go first. I have done it and it's rather a bonding moment I should say between agent and client. Just let me know so I can throw on some old cloths.

HOME BUYER,

ALABAMA IS A BUYER BEWARE STATE !!! THAT IS WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO HIRE A CERTIFIED HOME INSPECTOR TO INSPECT ANY PROPERTY BEFORE YOU CLOSE ON THE PROPERTY.
