When to Inspect a New House Before Buying

Home Inspection: When & How?
When purchasing a new house, conducting a proper inspection is always wise. A house is a major purchase and this ensures that you’re making an informed decision while avoiding potential surprise issues later down the line. Whether it’s a pre-offer, post-offer, or final walk-through inspection, acquiring knowledge about the state of the property you’re investing in is paramount. Better yet, being fully aware of the state of the home can give you a greater advantage when it comes time for negotiations.

While the best time for you to inspect a home can vary depending on the situation, it’s typically best to carry out a home inspection during the contingency period. This way, if issues are uncovered by the inspection, you are still able to either back out of the agreement without penalty, or bring the issues to light and renegotiate your offer.

If you’d like to carry out a preliminary inspection before involving a professional home inspector, you may be able to conduct an inspection yourself during an open house or scheduled visit. Of course, you’ll want to ensure you have the permission of the current owner. Conducting your own inspection early in the buying process allows you to narrow down your choices and expedite your new home purchase. To be thorough, you will need the right tools for the job; we’ll uncover those soon.

Having a professional home inspector assess the house is always a good idea, but if you’re the kind of person that needs to see things for yourself, performing your own inspection as well can help you feel more confident in your purchase. Your inspection can include assessing everything from the roof, guttering, attic space, even down to the crawlspace, checking everything from the plumbing to the HVAC systems for potential issues.

You might think this is time-consuming work, and that certainly can be the case, but remember that a house is an investment – a significant asset and along with a keen eye, a thorough inspection takes time and patience. However, thankfully some tools can help make home inspections quicker, safer, and far more efficient.

Eliminate the Bulk with a Ferret Wireless Inspection Camera

When it comes time to inspect inspecting a new house, various tools are required to help identify problem areas. You might need a flashlight, screwdriver, tape measure, electrical voltage tester, ladder, and, in some cases, binoculars to help get a closer look at higher areas of the home. However, that’s a lot to carry and would become cumbersome. Not to worry, there’s a tool that will help eliminate most of the bulk.

Enter the award-winning Ferret Tool, a lightweight, easy-to-carry, state-of-the-art inspection camera designed to see and reach where you can’t go with ease, efficiency, and versatility. It can replace your flashlight and ladder, offering features like adjustable bright white LEDs and digital zoom. It includes a free and easy to use App which allows you to have control over the camera, with 720p HD streaming, providing crisp clear real time images and video directly to your smart device. Also, the Ferret can attach to any rigid stick or Ferret Stick for enhanced reach and superior maneuverability in those tight, high, hard-to-reach areas.

How the Ferret Helps You Keep Safer When Inspecting a New House

So, while the Ferret Tool allows you to lighten the load, it also keeps you safer and out of harm’s way during home inspections. First and foremost, the Ferret enables you to stay out of cramped areas while it forges ahead. Since the Ferret live streams whatever it sees straight back to your smartphone, you can stay safely out of the space you inspect while still having great visibility.

Furthermore, the Ferret Plus features the first-ever built-in non-contact voltage detector on an inspection camera that can detect and alert you of live wires before you get near them. This feature alone is a must-have, as it is no secret that handling electrical wiring can be dangerous if the proper precautions aren’t taken.
