高级英语对话 第 436 课：检查房子-1

A: I heard that you finished my home inspection, and I was wondering how it went.
B: First of all, we need to understand what I was looking for. Do you know what the purpose of an inspection is?
A: I am not sure what a home inspection is all about.
B: I went there to check for problems with the home, so you aren't surprised when you move in.
A: Wouldn't the owners have told me about any problems?
B: Sellers aren't always truthful, and there might also be problems that they aren't aware of.
A: Can I require the owners to fix the problems?
B: You can make the sale of the house contingent on them fixing the problems.
A: What did you find out when you did the inspection of my new home?
B: There were no major problems. One leaky pipe under the sink and two broken roof tiles was all that I found.
