What Is the Biggest Red Flag in a Home Inspection?

Foundation problems are the number one red flag found during a home inspection. This includes cracks in the foundation from settlement issues or structural failures and an uneven or sinking foundation. Water damage and mold are two other things buyers don't want to see flagged on a home evaluation. Evidence of water damage in the basement, crawl spaces, or attic can indicate poor drainage, leaks, or roofing issues.

What Are Some More Things That Will Fail a Home Inspection?

Roof damage, like missing shingles or a sagging rooftop, is a major cause for concern. Buyers typically avoid purchasing homes requiring significant repairs to roof supports. Electrical system issues, like outdated wiring and overloaded circuits, are more reasons buyers might avoid making an offer. Old wiring can be hazardous and may not meet the current safety standards, and circuits that trip frequently may pose a fire risk.

Plumbing problems, HVAC system failures, and environmental hazards like asbestos and radon are more reasons buyers walk away. If you're looking to sell, it makes sense to have your property pre-inspected before listing so you can focus on making repairs. Doing so will help you capture a higher market value when you're ready to list.

When you're planning to purchase a home, you can't afford to overlook an inspection report. A buyer's inspection is the best way to uncover potential problems before you commit to a purchase.

How Do You Prepare for a Home Inspection?

Whether you're a buyer or a seller, you can prepare for your home inspection by following these tips.

Here's what we recommend:

Buyers

Home buyers should attend home inspections whenever possible. Be sure to prepare a list of questions, identify any concerns you have about the property, and ask for clarification whenever you're unsure about aspects of the property's condition.

Sellers

Sellers should clean and declutter and provide clear access to attics, crawl spaces, basements, and garages. You should also ensure a clear path to your electrical panel, HVAC system, water heater, and any other major system or appliance.

When you know about problems like leaks, burnt-out light bulbs, and broken windows or doors, you can address these repairs before your inspection to minimize issues that may put a potential buyer off from making a full-price offer.
