As a home buyer once you find your dream home, have executed the contract the clock starts ticking. It is of utmost importance to hire a qualified licensed inspector. Though home inspections are not required in Illinois, I highly recommend doing so. Why? He/she may discover faults in the home that are not reported on the seller’s disclosure. Knowing where you stand in regard to repairs will help you budget the cost after move-in. It is also possible to negotiate with seller to have your major concerns repaired prior to closing the transaction.

Tip: Always ask the seller if they have conducted a home inspection recently. If so, ask for a copy of their inspection. It’s wise to also get your own inspection, but you can then compare the two.

I only refer trusted vendors I have worked with. Here’s a bit of info about Ed Miehlke and Home Team Inspection Service.

Wood-destroying insects and other organisms can cause serious problems in the wooden structural components of a house which go undetected for a long period of time.
