If you have too many of these obvious deficiencies it may or may not be a reason to reconsider the house depending on your purpose for the property.
Once you have made a decision, you need a professional inspector to insure that all aspects of the home features are explored and any additional deficiencies are uncovered before you close the deal. We adhere to the
InterNACHI Code of ethics and State of Virginia

Water is tested for bacteria only. This test usually is arranged and paid for by the seller, this also includes septic system and termite inspection.
We will note these issues on your report, but make no claim as termite inspectors.
Finally, if your prospective home is on a septic system the seller arranges the septic inspection. It is now a state law that requires septic tanks be pumped out every five years.
