What Is a Home Inspection? A home inspection is a visual examination of the physical condition of a home (or other building). This is usually, but not always, connected to the sale of that home or building and its findings often determine the successful completion of that sale. 验房是对一个房子或建筑物的现实情况的视觉检查。它通常与房子或建筑物的买卖有关。验房的结果常常决定了这桩交易是否成功。
验房没有通过或没通过之说。验房报告提供一个房子或建筑物中现状以及相应的应对措施的清单。验房及验房报告经常是房子交易的一个前提条件。95%的交易都在验房以后完成。 ================================================= Why Do You Need a Home Inspection? 为 什 么 需 要 验 房？ To a house of hundreds of thousands dollars' value, getting a home inspection is perhaps one of the most cost-effective “checks” you need to conduct to make sure the home is safe and secure.Why? Peace of mind — Puts the buyer’s mind at ease that the home is in good shape. Save big bucks – If problems do arise, the buyer can negotiate a lower price or ask the seller to make repairs，which not only saves your repair fee,but also avoids your risk of bigger loss in the future. Opt-out — If the problems are too big or unsettling, the buyer can opt-out of buying the home. Future needs — Buyers can learn about potential maintenance and upkeep. 对于一个几十万价值的房子，验房可能是你购房过程中最见效的一笔开销之一。为什么？ 让你放心－验房使你确信这房子处于良好的状态，心里有底。 给你省钱－如果验房中发现确有重大的问题，你可以与卖家商谈更低的价格或者要求维修，这不但节约了你的维修费用，而且避免了将来由于潜在风险造成的更大的损失。 有理由放弃－如果此房子的问题很大或不能被解决，你可以选择放弃购买。 将来的需要－你可以从验房中知道以后可能需要的维修、维护、与升级。 ************************************************************************** A New Home Need an Inspection? In the last decade, residential homes have been built in record numbers and quality has suffered as a result. The speed at which homes have been built in combination with the shortage of qualified workers in the trades has negatively affected quality and workmanship. The construction process is complex, so deficiencies and errors will occur, and these could translate into costly repairs after you move in. That’s not to say that all homes have been constructed poorly, but we urge you to get the home inspected to avoid unpleasant surprises. Every house has its waranty time. Conducting a complete and throughout inspection before the waranty expiration is a wise action. 近十年来，新房投入量创历史新高，因此质量难免受到影响。造房的速度和合格工人的短缺影响了新房的质量。 复杂的建房过程使得房子容易产生缺陷，这些缺陷使你在搬入后投入巨资进行维修。这并不是说现在的新房质量都很差。但是，验房将使你避免不愉快的惊吓。 一般的新房都有一定时间的保修期。在保修期到期之前对房子进行彻底全面的检查，是很明智的选择。
