Pre-Purchase Home Inspection
The full property before your conditions come off, with the report in your hands within 24 hours.
What this covers
This is the inspection most buyers need. Every accessible system is examined and documented, and each finding is photographed and ranked so you know what is a bargaining point and what is a reason to walk away.
Condition periods in this market are short. The report is delivered the next morning so you still have time to act on it.
Each area examined and documented
Roof and exterior
Covering, flashings, chimney, cladding, grading and surface drainage.
Structure
Foundation, visible framing, and any evidence of movement or settlement.

Service size, panel condition, wiring type, outlets and visible hazards.
Plumbing
Supply piping, drainage, fixtures and water heater age and condition.
Heating and cooling

Three steps, no surprises in between
