Here are the 5 main questions we get about home inspections in Fort Smith, Arkansas
Buyers want to know if there are any significant problems that could affect their decision to purchase or require immediate attention.

Here are five common questions home buyers often ask the Unified Inspection Services home inspectors:

What are the major issues with this property?
Buyers want to know if there are any significant problems that could affect their decision to purchase or require immediate attention. What may look like a major problem just may be a common one for the area and/or the age of the home. We take the time to look into the problem to help consult whether it’s a big issue, normal wear and tear, a honey-do-list item
How old are the roof and major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical)?
Understanding the age and condition of these systems helps buyers anticipate future maintenance or replacement costs. These are all tricky ones because they are more than likely the most expensive repairs, minus the foundation. These are all questions to get answers for from your inspector.
Are there any safety concerns?
Buyers prioritize safety, so they often ask about potential hazards like faulty wiring, structural issues, or mold. We want to make sure your family is safe.
What should I budget for repairs or maintenance?
This question helps buyers plan financially for any necessary work after purchasing the home. At Unified Inspection Services, we work with our clients and their realtor to ensure the impact of the repair is known.
Can you explain this issue further?
Buyers frequently ask for clarification on technical terms or specific findings in the inspection report to fully understand the implications.

These questions not only help buyers make informed decisions, but also demonstrate the benefits of a thorough inspection.
