An inspection determines the condition of the home and identifies any items that need to be repaired immediately and/or soon.
There are many different types of inspections, such as: general inspections, structural inspections, pest inspections, roof inspections, electrical inspections, lead-based paint inspections and many more.
The most common and recommended inspection inspects the 5 mechanicals of a home, electricity, plumbing, roof, foundation and HVAC.
For example, Is the electrical working properly and up to code?
Is your plumbing properly working and/or are there any leaks, etc.?
What’s the condition of the roof and how much life does it have left?
How is the foundation? Has it shifted?
Lastly, a general inspection will also inspect the HVAC system (heating ventilation and air conditioning).
The inspection is completed by you the buyer, and is not required by the lender.
