When buying a home, you should always have a professional home inspection performed. You need to know exactly what you are getting. The professional home inspection will reveal any hidden problems with the home so that they may be addressed before you close the deal. Making your buying decision much easier and more confident.

Please see Inspection Standards for more detail.
The inspection report provides an overview of the home, its structure, and major systems and components, and identifies items and areas where repair, correction, replacement, and monitoring are recommended.
You should require an inspection at the time you make a formal offer. Make sure the contract has an inspection contingency. Then, arrange for an inspector of your choosing to come inspect the house and pay close attention to the inspection report. If you aren't comfortable with what we find, you should consider having the seller correct the problems before closing or negotiate for a lower purchase price or better terms to compensate for anticipated expenses.
The professional home inspection will reduce the risk of costly surprises with what is likely to be the largest purchase you will ever make. It helps you to make a more informed, more comfortable decision.
