However, it’s a risky move. If you skip the home inspection and buy the home, you’re responsible for all major repairs that occur. You have no recourse with the seller.
Our Pre-Offer Walk-Through Consultation can help you decide how or whether to proceed. At the least, you’ll make an offer with valuable basic information.
A consultation isn’t a full home inspection or a LITE version of an inspection.
Verbal only; no written, detailed information about systems or components.
The inspector use a flashlight. That’s it.
They will provide observations about the home’s condition while walking alongside you and your agent. How much is covered in the 45 to 60 min showing appointment depends on the size, age and overall condition of the home.
Things inspector doesn’t do.
Remove the electric panel, examine the furnace, test for carbon monoxide, look in the attic, examine plumbing connections, use infrared photography to investigate signs of moisture intrusion, test GFCI outlets, examine the roof, test appliances, test random windows and doors, and the myriad of other things an inspection includes.
#1 is a Full Home Inspection during the contingency period.
#2 is a contingent offer with an Information-Only Inspection. Consult with your buyer’s agent about how to address this in the purchase agreement. Add a sewer scope for greater peace of mind.
#3 is a Pre-Offer Walk-Through Consultation. A verbal-only observation about the home’s condition
#4 is do nothing and work completely without a net.
