The ultimate goal of the home inspection is to provide the buyers with enough information to proceed to closing on the house under contract.
Here are some useful tips:
*Sellers should vacate the home for the duration of the inspection (if possible).
*The Northern Virginia Sales Contract requires the sellers to have the utilities turned on for contract inspections.
*Change the furnace filter or make sure it is fairly clean
*repair all leaking plumbing items before the home inspection (preferably before the home goes on the market)
*replace all burned out light bulbs.
*Make sure your windows open and close. Make sure all doors open and close and do not stick.
*Check the batteries in all heat and smoke detectors and make sure they are running.
*Clear the way for the home inspector to take a look in attics, crawlspaces, garages, closets and so forth.
*Make sure the house is clean and that the dishwasher and clothes washer & dryer are empty.
