Home Inspections and Doing your Due Diligence While Inspecting the Property

When you are doing the home inspections you need to know what current issues exists with the home. In the sellers disclosure you signed when you got under contract, it indicates all the details on what the seller knows is wrong with the house. If there are major issues that pop up in the inspection, you can definitely ask the seller to:

  1. Fix the issue
  2. Reduce sales price
  3. Give you a credit and you can fix it yourself instead
