The colonial British Government of Virginia gained control of Stafford County in 1664. Stafford has many compelling affiliations to circumstances that sculptured our Nations history. The County’s flourishing iron industry drew attention to Augustine Washington. He moved his family along with his six-year-old son named George to what is known as Ferry Farm. The Aquia sandstone accommodated the stone for the white house, the U.S. Capitol and trim for many private homes. The County is named after Staffordshire England. Stafford endures a powerful affiliation with its magnificent historical tradition. It is home to one of the oldest colonial churches, Aquia Church, in the United States. Stafford County is now acknowledged to be part of the Washington DC metropolitan area. Many of the areas residents commute via Interstate Highway 95, U.S. Route 1 and the Virginia Railway Express. Stafford is also the center for many businesses, many of which are Fortune 500 companies. A new regional airport opened in 2001. This provides many new opportunities for business and residential growth. The Stafford Hospital Center is state of the art with full services to the surrounding counties. The county also homes 17 elementary schools, 8 middle and 5 high schools 
Disclosure Laws >Disclaimer Clauses
Before the professional inspects the home that you are buying, you will be asked to sign an acknowledgment of the scope of the inspection. This document will probably include a disclaimer clause designed to relieve the company of responsibility if they should miss a defect. What happens if a defect is missed during an inspection?
The disclaimer clause may get the inspection company off the hook for a defect if there is no visual indication of a problem. If the inspector clearly indicated that he was not checking for that problem--many inspectors do not check for dry rot or inspect roofs--then the recourse will be limited. If negligence is involved, or if the defect should have been obvious to a professional inspector, the disclaimer is not likely to protect the inspector. If you find an undiscovered defect, discuss the matter with the inspector. Depending on the situation, the responsibility for remedying the problem may rest with you, the sellers, and/or the inspector.
