What is a Home Inspection?

A home inspection is an evaluation of a property's condition. During an inspection, an inspector assesses the structure, exterior, roof, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC, interiors, insulation, ventilation, and fireplaces. Additional tests may check for hazards like mold, radon, lead paint, and asbestos.

Are Home Inspections Required?

No, home inspections aren't mandatory. However, buyers can include an inspection as a contingency in their purchase agreement. This allows them to identify potential costly issues before finalizing the purchase. In competitive markets, some buyers may waive inspections to strengthen their offers. Other options exist, like only requiring repairs for major issues found during the inspection.

Who Performs the Inspection?

Certified inspectors from the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) or the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) conduct home inspections. Costs vary based on property size and additional tests. A REALTOR® can help you find a reputable inspector and advise on necessary inspection types.

Who Pays for the Inspection?

Typically, buyers cover inspection costs. Sometimes, sellers may get an inspection before listing to identify issues upfront. Sellers might also offer to pay for repairs or inspections as part of the negotiation process.

Can Buyers Attend the Inspection?

Yes, it’s beneficial for buyers to attend. Inspectors can explain the location of key systems and highlight any concerns.

How Long Does an Inspection Take?

Inspections generally last 2-3 hours, depending on the home's size and condition.

Common Issues Found During Inspections
Inspections often reveal issues like:

Structural or foundation problems
Roof Issue
Poor drainage
Faulty wiring
HVAC malfunctions
Safety hazards (e.g., tripping risks, insufficient smoke or carbon monoxide detectors)
Reports also provide maintenance advice and highlight potential future concerns.

What Does “As-Is” Mean?

An “as-is” listing means the seller won’t make repairs regardless of the inspection outcome. This carries risks for buyers, so discuss options with your agent. Sellers should also consider the pros and cons of listing “as-is.”
