A general property inspection arranged by a seller to identify visible concerns before or during the sales process.
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, planned listing timeline, known concerns, access conditions, and whether repair decisions or disclosures are the main goal.
