Understand the role of the inspection
A visual inspection carried out by a professional helps identify items that deserve particular attention. It does not guarantee the absence of defects and does not replace any specialized checks that may be recommended.
Before the visit, ask what will be inspected, what will not, and in what form you will receive the report.
Prepare your questions for the inspector
Note what you observed during your visit: signs of moisture, visible cracks, the apparent age of components and work mentioned in the file.
Ask for a clear explanation of the findings and the limits of the report. Avoid drawing a technical conclusion without a specialist’s opinion.
Use the report to decide
The report can help you determine whether an additional check or a discussion is needed under the conditions of your promise to purchase.
To understand clauses, deadlines or the consequences of a decision, consult the relevant qualified professional.
