Before you close on your home, one of the most important things you should do is contact a professional home inspector. A home inspection is a chance for you to find out whether there are any problems with the property that the seller failed to disclose, as well as whether there are any impending problems that may lead to expensive fixes later on after you close. As the buyer, it’s your responsibility to hire a home inspector and set up a date for the inspection.

The State of Alabama has held “buyer beware” as the law when selling or purchasing a home. This means that the seller or seller’s agents are not required to disclose any defects unless it poses an immediate health or safety risk to the buyer.

The best decision you can make is to contact Rocket Valley Home Inspections to schedule your inspection before you purchase a home.
