A broad condition review used by owners or property managers to identify maintenance needs and developing concerns.
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, its age, areas of concern, recent changes, and whether you need a whole-property review or selected systems examined.
