A professional home inspection protects both you and the buyer. It allows both you and the buyer the opportunity to learn about the property's defects.

A home inspection usually covers the following:

• Plumbing conditions - if there is leakage or clogging
• Roofing conditions - the extent of deterioration, if there is leakage
• Electrical conditions - if there are inadequate circuits or potential fire hazards
• Structural problems - if there are problems with the underlying foundation

As a seller, the home inspection reports protect you because it establishes the actual condition of the property at the time of sale.
