In a home inspection report, the following items should be examined and evaluated:
Home inspectors perform a visual inspection of what they can easily see and access. They will not examine things that are underground or within walls, nor anything that requires them to damage the house to investigate. A home inspection is not a warranty on the house. It does not review if a home is up to local building codes.
The average home inspection will not include the following items since many of these require special training and licensing.
The average cost of hiring a home inspector is just over $300. The price will vary depending on the size of the home, the age of the home, how long it takes to inspect, and if the inspector checks for any of the extra factors listed above that do not come automatically with the basic inspection.
