Buyer’s Inspection
A buyer’s inspection is traditionally what people think of when discussing home inspections. Performed during the option period after an offer has been submitted on a home, an inspection is a non-invasive visual examination of a residential dwelling. Purchased by the buyer as part of their due diligence, the inspector will observe material defects within specific components of the home and operate any or all mechanical, structural, electrical, plumbing components, or other essential systems. Conditions both small and large are compiled into a report provided at the end of the inspection. The report may be used to negotiate concessions on the home (repairs or sales price) from the seller depending on the conditions found. At the very least the buyer knows what to expect from their home.
