Exploring Different Types of Property Inspections
When buying, selling, or maintaining a property, inspections are key to understanding its condition. While most people are familiar with a standard home inspection, there are several types of property inspections that serve different purposes. Here’s a guide to the various types of property inspections available from CalPro Inspection Group and why each might be useful for you.
Standard Home Inspection
A standard home inspection is the most common type and is typically conducted during real estate transactions. The inspector evaluates the property’s overall condition, including the foundation, roof, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, and more. This inspection helps buyers identify potential issues before closing on a home.
Who Needs It
Homebuyers and sellers looking to evaluate the general condition of a property
Pre-Listing Inspection
Sellers often choose a pre-listing inspection to identify issues before putting a home on the market. This inspection allows sellers to make repairs ahead of time, potentially increasing the property’s value and avoiding surprises during the buyer’s inspection.
Who Needs It
Sellers who want to present their homes in the best possible condition to buyers
New Construction Inspection
Even newly built homes can have defects. A new construction inspection ensures the building is completed according to code and everything functions correctly. These inspections are typically performed at different stages, including pre-drywall, final walkthrough, and one-year warranty inspections.
Who Needs It
Buyers of newly constructed homes and builders who want to ensure quality control
Commercial Property Inspection
A commercial property inspection is vital for those investing in commercial real estate. It evaluates the condition of larger buildings, such as office spaces, warehouses, or retail centers, and provides insights into necessary repairs or upgrades.
Who Needs It
Investors and buyers of commercial properties need a detailed assessment of the building’s condition
