Real
Estate (WDI) Inspections
When do I need to have
my home inspected?
When you are selling
your home, the state of Texas does not requires you to have an inspection,
but many mortgage companies do. If an inspection is done for the purchase
of real estate, it must be provided on a state of Texas standardized form,
and done by a state licensed inspector. We recommend the buyer be present
at the time of inspection. The written report will be done at the
site and many questions can be addressed on the spot.
What are the costs
involved?
Inspections will vary
from property to property. The old rule of "you get what you pay
for" is true. Factors affecting inspection costs are size and location.
How long does an Inspection
take?
Our normal inspection
time is an hour to an hour and a half.
What should I look
for in an inspector?
Due to the level of
knowledge required, we recommend inspections only by certified applicators
in the termite field with at least 5 years of experience treating termites
in the North Houston area. Considering that building constructions and
soil types will change from one area of Houston to another, it is important
to use an inspector who is familiar with your local region.
