Illinois Buyer’s Home Inspections
Illinois Buyer’s Home Inspections
You’ve made an offer on a home and need to make sure that you aren’t sinking your hard-earned savings into a lemon. A buyer’s home inspection will provide you with the due diligence you need to either move forward with the deal or move on to a different one.
A buyer’s home inspection is designed to thoroughly examine the critical systems and operational items inside and outside a home. This enables you to make informed decisions as to whether or not a home is worth purchasing. Should any issues be found during the home inspection, you as the buyer may have increased leverage in any price negotiations.
A buyer’s home inspection usually takes us a few hours, during which we welcome buyers to be present. Sellers, typically, are not welcome. This gives us the ability to connect with you and deliver our key findings in person so you can ask us questions and get the answers you need.
Following the inspection, we deliver a comprehensive report that includes all our findings and recommendations about how to address any issues discovered in the course of our inspection.
What Does a Buyer’s Inspection Include?
During a buyer’s inspection, we examine everything visible from the roof down to the foundation, inside and outside a home. We make sure it’s all structurally sound and well maintained.
Then we go through all the operational items and appliances to make sure they all function the way they should.
If we can’t confirm that something is working the way it needs to, we note our findings and make a recommendation in our inspection report about how to deal with it.
At Lucent, we rely on years of experience in the home inspection and construction industries to inform each and every inspection we do. We pride ourselves on uncovering what other inspectors might miss and making sure you get more value out of your inspection than you pay for.
Buyer’s Home Inspection Pricing & Additional Inspection Services
We offer comprehensive home inspections at a competitive price and pride ourselves on ensuring you get all the information you need about the home you’re buying.
Given our dedication to transparency, there are two important things you need to know about the cost of a home inspection.
First, opting for a “cheap” home inspection can be a recipe for disaster when buying a home. There’s nothing worse than moving into a house only to find out that you need to unexpectedly sink thousands of dollars into it.
Second, not all tests and specialty inspections are included in a standard home inspection. Additional inspection services may be recommended should we discover unique issues.
Here are some of the additional services your home inspector may recommend:
- Radon Testing
- Well Inspection
- Well Water Testing
- Termite Inspection
- Mold Inspection
- Mold Testing
- Chimney Inspection
