Some of the most important information about your home will be provided by your home inspector. 

Almost every home inspector will provide you with a written report that explains the condition of the four major systems of the home. These systems are Plumbing, Electrical, Heating and Air Conditioning, and Structural.  Most, if not all, real estate contracts limit the buyer to repair requests in these systems only. Because of this,some inspectors will only inspect these areas.

But what about the maintenance needs of the home?

Keep in mind that all used homes have deferred maintenance. If the home inspector fails to point out these areas, are you getting your money's worth?  Deferred maintenance areas may start out small and minor, but left unattended can be very costly in the end.  A  concerned home inspector will not only make you aware of these areas,  but will provide a repair recommendation as well. The report should provide you with a clear understanding between a major system issue and a deferred maintenance issue.
