What Are Re-Inspections?

 by: kgolubski
 

ReInspections are when the inspector returns to the property where a full home inspection was previously performed, to verify that repairs or replacements requested by the buyer have been completed.

Some ways in which a ReInspection differs from the original standard home inspection:

>The client (buyer) defines the scope of the inspection (i.e. what items they want inspected).

>Because of the limited scope, a ReInspection costs less and takes less time than the original inspection.

>The report given is typically verbal instead of written.

 

Remember, a ReInspection cannot ascertain if the repairs/replacements were done properly or by a certified professional.  It can only determine whether or not the system/item/component is now performing its intended function.
