A home inspection is an examination of the condition of a property. It is typically performed by a licensed home inspector and can be required by the buyer as a condition of purchase. The inspection will cover things like the condition of the roof, foundation, plumbing, and electrical systems. The buyer may ask the seller to make repairs or negotiate a lower purchase price if any significant problems are found. You can avoid the need for a home inspection by selling your property to United Home Offer, which will purchase your property as-is.
