CORE 360 HOME INSPECTIONS

Townhouse Home Inspection

A townhouse home inspection is a visual examination of the home’s major structure, systems, and components that are visible and safely accessible.

The goal of this inspection and report is to put you in a better position to make an informed real estate decision. This report is a general guide and provides you with some objective information to help you make your own evaluation of the overall condition of the home and is not intended to reflect the value of the property or to make any representation as to the advisability of purchase.

We will provide you with a written report, which may include photos and/or recommendations, of our findings of the inspection. With the inspection report in hand, you’ll know what repairs are needed and what should be addressed in the near future. You can then determine how best to proceed. A home inspection is not meant to halt a home sale, but rather to help buyers and sellers reach a fair agreement by providing an impartial evaluation of the home’s condition.

Condominiums/Townhouses inspection at times are a partial inspection and is performed on only those components that the buyer or homeowner is responsible for. CC&R’s & HOA’s sometimes limit access to inspectors. We will inspect what we have access to.
