Actually, when you look at the price of inspections over the cost of you investment, it is actually very small. You don’t get what you expect you get what you inspect. The purchase of a home is the most expensive single purchase that many people will make in their lifetime. Take a home priced at $250,000 with a inspection fees totaling $900, that is only ¼ of percent. A very small cost to assist you in making an informed decision. The home inspection is the ultimate disclosure. Not what someone is required to tell you, but what is there. It does not take many defects to total $5,000 +. For example, one sewer scope defect in a home we inspected had a repair cost in excess of $5000. You do the math.
