Just about every Resale
(used)
house runs the risk of having breakdowns in its'
systems and appliances. The trouble is, you don't
know when and you don't know how much it will cost
to repair them. Your Home Inspector isn't expected
to tell the future or find things that are hidden
and may breakdown after you move in, so you've
been on
your own ... Until Now.
 You could buy a
HS-Warranty
but why not try to negotiate one into the purchase price.
After all it's not much to ask for the Seller to
provide (or at
least pay for) a
little reassurance that all will be well with the
systems and
appliances in the house they are selling you. At the
price of houses these days, not having to worry
about repair bills for a while is a welcome relief
for your already well-stretched bank account.
Right after your Home
Inspection is the ideal time to introduce the topic
of 'The Seller Paying for a Home
Systems Warranty", into your discussions with the
Seller. Visit
www.HomeSystemsWarranty.com
for a list of Approved Warranty Inspectors
(or we can get a report from your Home Inspector if
you have already had one)
who can pre-screen your house for Warranty
coverage, as part of their regular inspection
process.
Some Realtors are going
to resist
this, saying things like, "it'll complicates the sale". But they
said the same thing about Home Inspections 25 years
ago and now every house has one. In some parts of the USA
over
90% of home sales have a Home Systems Warranty and
for the most part ... the Seller pays for it.
For the most part they just need educating. |
