Is a home inspection required to buy or sell a house?
by ll_inspector_nick
No, there are no laws requiring that a buyer or seller hire a home inspector. However we recommend a home inspection for every home buyer. We recommend that sellers get a Pre-Listing inspection to make their process go more smoothly. A buyer can request an “inspection contingency” to be part of the contract, meaning that the deal will not go through if the inspection uncovers issues the buyer is not comfortable with. There is extreme value in a home inspection and we do not advise buying a house without one.
