Home Inspections

Home Inspections are highly recommended when purchasing a home, especially if the home is older. A home inspection is a professional, objective, evaluation of the current condition of the home and its major systems. It is not a guarantee of any kind. A home inspection will give you a general summary of the homes condition, recommendations for repair, preventive maintenance and potential problems that may occur. A home inspection will generally cost between around $200 and $1,000 dollars. If stated in your Real Estate Purchase Contract, if a home inspection reveals unacceptable conditions, you may cancel your offer, or demand that repairs be made within the proper time frame.

There are several types of inspections you can specify depending on your property's particular needs; Asbestos, Lead based Paint, Mold, Radon, roof, Septic System, Soils and Foundatin Settlement, Termite, Underground Fuel Storage Tanks, and Wells.

Here are websites of Home Inspectors that cover Cache Valley Utah; Logan, North Logan, Smithfield, Hyrum, Providence, Wellsville, Hyde Park, Nibley, Richmond, Lewiston, and the other little Cache County Towns.

Home Warranty's

Home Warranty's are an excellent way to ensure that when you buy a home, you won't get stuck with costly repairs. A home warranty typically costs between $215 and $500 and lasts 1 year. If something does go wrong, for example your water heater doesn't heat your water. You can get it fixed without having to pay for it yourself. You make a co-pay of about $35-$75 and the home warranty company takes care of everything else.

A Home Warranty is also a good investment when selling a home. It is a selling point, the home seller is protected during the selling period, and you don't have to worry that the new buyer is going to get angry and sue you if the heater suddenly decides not to work.
