What an Inspector May Review
A home inspection may cover accessible roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, attic, basement, interior and exterior components. Specialized evaluations may also be requested.
Why Inspect If the Seller Will Not Repair?
The buyer needs to understand risk, future costs and whether to proceed. Investors and contractors also inspect to estimate renovation expenses.
Can the Buyer Ask for Repairs or a Price Change?
A buyer may ask, but the seller may decline. The contract, inspection provisions and attorney guidance control available options.
Can a Buyer Cancel?
Cancellation rights depend on the purchase agreement and facts. The term as-is does not automatically eliminate every contingency.
Should the Seller Get a Pre-Listing Inspection?
Some sellers want to identify conditions before listing. Because new information may affect disclosures and strategy, discuss the decision with your attorney and qualified professionals.
How Should a Seller Prepare?
Provide safe access, make major areas accessible, gather available property records and avoid concealing conditions.
