Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Unless you waived the inspection contingency, you can often renegotiate after a home inspection and push for a lower sale price. The seller could reject the new price, offer to carry out the necessary repairs before closing, or offer a seller’s concession, which means they’d take money off the top of the sale price to cover the repairs after closing.

Checking for mold yourself is crucial, as catching mold in the early stages is ideal. Mold can appear green, brown, black, blue, or yellow. It can smell musty and can feel like velvet, leather, or cotton. 

Most often, mold grows near water damage. It’s best to inspect these places for signs of mold growth:

  • Basement: Look in corners, windows, carpet, closets, and around appliances. 

  • Bathrooms: Check around sinks, ceilings, and around toilets. 

  • Kitchen: Inspect around the sink, behind the refrigerator, and behind trash can.

  • Attic: Look near the insulation and near intake and exhaust vents.

There are no strict rules for who is responsible for covering repair costs after a home inspection, but major issues with the home often result in a renegotiation. The seller may agree to lower the price to compensate for the cost of the repairs to the buyer, or the seller may agree to fix the repairs before the sale is complete.

There are a few different types of flues out there, including throat dampers and top-mounted dampers. A throat damper will look like a piece of metal inside the chimney that is either opened or closed, while a top-mounted damper will simply make it so that you can see the daylight streaming in through your chimney from inside if it’s open.

A pass/fail home inspection is a type of inspection that a buyer pays for with the understanding that the results will not allow for renegotiation. It’s most common in situations where the buyer waives a home inspection contingency to get their offer accepted when there’s a lot of competition for the home. The buyer will accept the house as-is without requesting repairs or renovations to fix potential issues, or they will consider the inspection a fail and will back out of the deal, losing out on the cost of the home inspection.
