A home purchase is most likely the most expensive purchase you will make in your lifetime. With home inspections being such a small fraction of the price of the home, it only makes sense to give you some peace of mind on your purchase. A good Chattanooga home inspector will take their time and do a detailed inspection, reporting existing issues, the probable lifespan of major home components, and potential hidden problems. These can be used in purchase negotiations and/or provide you the information to decide to walk away from a bad investment.
