Should I Purchase a Home Inspection Warranty
I see some Home Inspection companies offering warranties. My question is why ? First someone is paying for these and someone is making money on them and I can tell you the Home Inspector is passing this cost on. These warranties usually cover things like appliances, sewer lines, and product buybacks. Any educated person can tell these products offer little to no value. First the insurance company requires the inspector to provide these on all inspection they performed, regardless of the customer desires, and the home inspector has to pass that cost on. When you have a claim what reimbursement is offered ? From my experience with insurance companies not much. Some claim they will buy your house back, however I cannot find one documented case of this happening. One of the most common is appliances recall, what value does this have ? The second issue is a good home inspector does not need a third party to warranty his product. The inspector does a top quality job that they stand behind and have a very large insurance policy. I stand with the top quality work and a large insurance policy, rather than some fake little worthless policy. Stay away from home inspection warranty and companies that offer these warranties.
