Types of Home Inspection Services

Home Buying Inspection

A home buying inspection is usually performed for a home buyer to determine a home’s general condition. Frequently home buyers use a home buying inspection to negotiate price concessions from the seller, often times saving enough money on the purchase price of the home to more than compensate for the price of the home inspection service.

This is our standard inspection which covers all the structural components and mechanical systems including electrical, heating ventilation/cooling, plumbing, appliances, foundation, roof, exterior, interior, and optional systems to be inspected.

Pre-listing Home Inspection

Sometimes referred to as a seller or listing home inspection, this is performed for a home seller to evaluate areas of a home that may need to be repaired or updated.

Sellers inspections are useful from several different perspectives. A positive seller’s home inspection can be and often is used as an effective marketing tool. In many cases, a seller will decide to make some recommended repairs or update, thus increasing the value and/or market potential of their home.

At times, a seller’s home inspection may reveal a deficiency in the home that the seller is not willing to address by any means other than a price reduction (priced accordingly). In any circumstance, a seller’s home inspection can do a lot to avoid the pitfalls of a lost sale or a last minute price negotiation.

New Home Phase Inspection

Also known as construction or phase inspections. Performed during the construction of a new home at several phases of construction.

This type of home inspection service is ordered by the buyer of a new home before construction begins and must be included in the builder’s contract. A very valuable inspection, to protect a home buyer from unscrupulous builders, tradesman, and ineffective municipal building code inspectors.
