Question about home inspection?

We recieved a verbal confirmation that our offer was accepted by the bank yesterday.  The house is a foreclosure.  We were told that we should recieved the written confirmation by Monday/ Tuesday at latest.  Do we need to wait until then to make an appointment for a home inspection, or can we have one before?

Thanks

Re: Question about home inspection?

  • I think you should be able to order an inspection. It's Saturday so I doubt you can get anyone out there until Monday or Tuesday anyways. Our contract said we had 10 days for an inspection so you might have a similar clause and plenty of time toget someone out to check out the property. Congrats and good luck!

  • You don't have to wait to make an appointement. We had 10 days from the time we agreed upon the price to get the inspection/appraisal done. We just had our inspection on Wed and I was a nervous wreck! But all was well. Good luck.

  • We are purchasing a foreclosure too (close on Wednesday).  As with pps, we had 10 days for inspection so go ahead and schedule it.  Just so you know, even if the listing says "as is" don't take their word for it.  If there are repairs you want made, request them.  We did and the bank agreed to all of them (despite the "as is" listing) and some of them were costly.  It never hurts to ask!
