As a seller, fixing what comes out on the home inspection report is usually not mandatory unless it poses extreme safety risks. If you do not fix what comes out on a home inspection report, you will simply have fewer chances of selling the home to the potential buyer as they may not feel comfortable buying a home with defects.
As a buyer, when moving into your new home, you don’t necessarily have to fix everything that came up on the home inspection report. To know about the most pressing issues, ask your home inspector for their advice on what should be fixed immediately so you don’t have any issues in the future.
