Getting the keys to your new home is a monumental moment after a long waiting period. To be confident about your builder, a final home inspection can be done before your final payment. The inspection report can give you up-to-date information relating to the nature and location of any defects (if there are any). However, to get the most value out of your home inspection, you need to ask the right questions.

Here are some tips for how to get the upper hand in negotiations and come away with the best price for your house.
