A Home Inspection is a systematic evaluation of a dwelling’s visible and accessible components, such as plumbing, electrical, roofing, or structural elements. Certified inspectors pinpoint issues requiring repairs or replacements, enabling prospective occupants or lenders to assess condition and potential risks. While not exhaustive or invasive, it provides a snapshot of a home’s integrity.

Key Points:

• Surface-Level Checks: Walls, flooring, attics, exteriors, typically without dismantling systems.
• Reporting: Summaries highlight safety concerns, approximate repair costs, or future maintenance.
• Objective Findings: Helps negotiation by disclosing hidden or expensive flaws.
• Limitation: Doesn’t guarantee absent hidden defects, but drastically reduces surprises.

The inspection fosters transparency, helping stakeholders weigh budgets, hazards, or renegotiation needs before committing to a binding transaction.
