    Mike Holmes has done an amazing job with packing this book with important information
  

*by E***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2017*

Very, Very, Very well written. Mike Holmes has done an amazing job with packing this book with important information. This has got to be hands down the most comprehensive guide for a homebuyer or seller. He explains things very thoroughly, and in layman's terms. There are no meaningless tangents within the book. All information and scenarios in the book have relevance towards your understanding the things that are considered when you want to sell or purchase a home. I would imagine the book is written so it seems as thought Mr. Holmes is right next to you explaining every possible detail of a house during a home inspection. I will certainly be reading more of this man's books!

    Solid basic info every homeowner or buyer should know
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2020*

I've watched Mike Holmes' TV shows since the beginning. While he tends to be "pushy", I have learned so much from him that I highly recommend this book. We included many of his safety and construction suggestions while remodeling our home several years ago and are very glad we did. For example, our area in WI has been prone to power issues during storms, so the the whole-house surge protection that Mike advocates saved our furnace, washer/dryer, stove, fridge and A/C - the expense could have been staggering!

    What is it Really Worth?
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2012*

It's truly amazing on how little time people spend on informing themselves about buying a home considering the fact that for most it's the single largest purchase they will make in their lifetime. This book is not a replacement for a good qualified home inspection but rather an excellent primer on how to assess the condition, and value of a new or older house. So after carefully scouting out the neighborhood houses, checking the zoning, nearby commercial areas, public buildings, traffic flow, possible flooding areas last but not least is the design, structure, and working mechanical systems of the house itself. Problems in any of these areas can be calamitous at worse potentially time consuming, and costly to remediate at least. This book is sensibly organized, on quality paper with lots of good color photos, diagrams, and checklists. I too cannot think of any area that this book does not cover concerning the inspection of a property. His thoughtful glossary and checklists are icing on the cake. Having recently hired a qualified home inspector myself he summed up these thoughts by saying that most homes fall into a one to eight range, he has rarely ever seen a nine, and never a ten. Although my costly property fell into the seven to eight ranges (thanks to this book) the seller refused to lower their price after our inspector found at least 18K in hidden needed repairs, and we also landed up with an insurance problem due to our properties location near the water, it was a few hundred dollars well spent. Always remember that in any real estate deal the only thing you can trust is your own instincts, gathered knowledge, and real estate lawyer. And always remember that it's not what THEY want to sell you the house for, but what YOU CAN AFFORD TO PAY. Good job Mike Holmes thanks for your thoughtful book.
