When the Inspection is Over…
The Inspector will prepare a Property Inspection Report that gives easy to read details on:
- The condition of components from the roof to the basement.
- How things work.
- Major and minor deficiencies.
- Any major deficiencies.
- Any major expenditures coming up.
- What to watch for.
