Pre-Listing Inspection
This inspection should take place before you put your home up for sale. We’ll carefully inspect the readily accessible areas of the property to determine whether or not there are existing defects you need to know about.
If you choose to make repairs, this will give you a chance to do so before a prospective buyer’s own inspection so that the home’s value is protected.
New Construction Inspections
Home buyers sometimes incorrectly assume that newly constructed homes don’t need to be inspected before a transaction takes place. But you should know that this isn’t the case—a professional third-party home inspection is necessary to check for defects and general oversights in the home’s construction.
If defects are discovered, this will give you a chance to discuss the matter with the builders before closing on the home.
Re-Inspections
Re-Inspections give home buyers an opportunity to double-check the condition of a previously defective component that has been repaired or replaced.
At Sound Property Home inspections If we discover additional issues during the inspection, you’ll still have time to reach out to the seller of the home before the transaction is final.
