Buyer's Inspections are the most common type of inspection. This type of inspection occurs most-often as a contingency prior to closing a real estate sale. A Buyer's Inspection is designed to protect the prospective property purchaser from entering into a sale without knowing a property's general disposition and state. In other words, it helps buyers to avoid any potentially-costly surprises. Approximately ninety-percent of all inspections performed are Buyer's Inspections, and more buyers than ever are using them to mitigate the risk of fiscal and legal calamity associated with a purchase.
