Do I need a home inspection?
The vast majority of buyers work with home inspectors.
According to findings from Porch, 86% of buyers who used a home inspection said that their inspector identified at least one problem that should be addressed.
Home inspectors look at everything from cosmetic features to essential systems, and will help spot potential issues in a number of important areas around the home.
Here’s where home inspectors most frequently helped identify potential problems, according to surveyed buyers:
Nearly 20% (19.7%) of home inspectors found a problem with the roof
18.7% found at least one issue with the home’s electrical system
18.4% found problems with the home’s windows
13.6% discovered issues with the home’s plumbing systems, and 12.2% with the water heater.
