Home Inspection Form

Conducting a thorough inspection of a home helps you make an informed decision about its value prior to making an offer. Also, prior to, but near the closing date, it's a great idea to conduct another inspection of the property's condition to insure that it is still in the condition it was when you made your offer. Any damage that has occured since your offer was accepted should be repaired to your satisfaction. Finally, a complete review of the property and it's features will give you a baseline of the home's condition. You may enjoy reviewing your original inspection form over the years as you make improvements to your home.
