On Thursday at 4pm we are having an inspection. Since our house is a foreclosure and is sold as is, we will not be able to use anything we find out at the inspection to bargain for a lower price, but it will help us find out if there are any deal breakers.
The poor inspector will be surprised when he sees 4 people come to his inspection, but our family is just that - everyone gets involved - my hubby and I and my dad and mom will be there. My dad's a contractor, so that's why he is coming. I am curious, and it's an occasion to get into the house again.
I really hope the inspection will not turn up with something messy. The house uses well water and a septic tank, so we definitely need to have the pumps inspected. I also want him to check for mold and radon. I read that radon comes up naturally from the ground in many areas in the US, but in some places the amount is larger and some smaller. I hope there is just no radon in our basement and that's it.
Hubby and I agreed that if the inspection comes back with issues that will cost no more than $10,000 to fix, we will still get the house. That excludes foundation or septic tank issues - those cannot really be estimated till a considerable amount of digging has been done.
