A general property inspection performed for a prospective buyer before completing a real-estate purchase.
A home inspection is primarily an evaluation and reporting service, so the useful scope depends on the property, the reason for the inspection, and the deadline for the report. Ask what areas and systems are included, what the written report contains, and whether specialized inspections or follow-up evaluations are separate. Before contacting a provider, note the property type and age, inspection deadline, occupancy status, and any specific systems or concerns you want noted.
