Home Inspections: What Types Are There?

Professional home inspectors examine existing homes using professional standards as a measure to accurately report their condition to parties involved in a real estate transaction.

There are many types of property inspections offered by home inspectors, depending on your needs.  These include:

• Pre-Listing Inspections
• Pre-Purchase Inspections
• New Construction Inspections
• HUD/FHA Inspections
• Multiunit Inspections
• Annual Maintenance Checkup

When purchasing a home, many home buyers have saved literally thousands of dollars through information provided by the home inspector.  Home owners who have owned their homes for several years can even benefit from a home inspector’s knowledge of maintenance and repairs, and experience to avert potential problems.  In many areas where disasters have occurred, homeowners have relied on inspectors to help them identify any damage resulting from storms, earthquakes, etc., some of which could be hidden if you’re not trained to look for them.
