When deciding or evaluating a property, it would be best to allow your realtor to handle the contacting of inspectors that are not only accredited but very qualified to get you the right evaluation you need. This eliminates unseen problems that might have skipped the inspectors which can be any of the following problem areas; termite damage, dry rot, structural defects, roof structural defects, septic tank evaluation, asbestos and well conditions among some of the problem areas that have to be inspected thoroughly in your interest and protection. These findings are then submitted to you whether the property is sound or for minor defects negotiations with the owners can then proceed to address them possibly even lowering the cost of the property.
