Inspections
You may want to consider the following types of inspections to be requested as part of your negotiations. Once an offer is accepted the inspections can be done and any findings will be resolved before the closing. Note: these vary by state and by county - check with your agent for more details about the inspection and costs.
Structural pest control inspections: conducted by a licensed inspector, the "termite report" offers an analysis of wood damage caused by termites and other pests.
Physical inspections: typically done by a general home inspector, a physical inspection is a visual review of the overall condition of the property.
