Frequently Asked Questions About Pre-Sale Home Inspections

Why Are Sellers Choosing to Get a Pre-Sale Home Inspection? Sellers are opting for pre-sale inspections to get ahead of the curve and clarify their home’s condition.

A pre-sale inspection helps build trust with buyers and can facilitate a smoother sale.

What Does a Home Inspection Cover? A home inspection evaluates all accessible systems and components, including the roof, structure, siding, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC, and built-in appliances.

According to the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), “The standard home inspector’s report will cover the condition of the home’s heating system, central air conditioning system (temperature permitting), interior plumbing and electrical systems, the roof, attic, and visible insulation, walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors, the foundation, basement, and structural components.”

How Much Does a Home Inspection Cost in New Hampshire and Vermont? The cost of a home inspection depends on the size of the home and any additional services needed. Typically, you can expect to spend around $375-600 for a general home inspection, with other services costing extra.

Do I Have to Share the Inspection Report with the Buyer? While you’re not required to share the inspection report with the buyer, doing so can be a valuable marketing tool.
