These questions will help you get a good idea of what condition your property is in.

Remember that youíre paying for a service when you have a home inspector come by. Donít be shy about asking questions. Most home inspectors expect their customers to ask a lot of questions.



Question #1 ñ Electrical

What condition is the electrical system in? Are there any panels or wiring thatís done unprofessionally? Is there any knob and tube wiring or any aluminum wiring in the condo?

Question #3 ñ The Heating System

The heating system should always be inspected. Itís important to ask about what kind of equipment you have, how old it is, how much longer you can expect it to last, etc.

Question #4 ñ The Plumbing System

Make sure your inspector checks the plumbing system and tells you how old the system is. Check for signs of recent issues, such as a new sewer cap.

Question #5 ñ Are there any potential fire hazards?

Safety is a prime concern when buying a Downtown Minneapolis Condo. With older electrical or heating systems, there may be potential fire hazards that you should be aware of. Make sure with older homes to ask your home inspector about these.

These are some of the more important questions to ask a home inspector during a home inspection. Again, remember that youíre hiring this person for a paid service, so donít hesitate to make full use of their expertise.
