Frequently Asked Questions
What is a re-inspection?
A re-inspection is a follow-up visit after the seller has completed repairs identified in your original inspection report. The inspector returns to verify that the agreed work was actually done and was done properly.
Why do I need a re-inspection?
Because a repair receipt is not the same as a completed repair. A re-inspection confirms the work was carried out, and sometimes finds that a repair was done incorrectly or created a new problem.
What does the re-inspection cover?
It focuses on the specific items from the original report that were agreed to be repaired, rather than repeating the full inspection.
When should I schedule it?
Before your final walkthrough and before closing, so there is still time to raise anything that was not completed properly while you retain leverage.
What if a repair was not done correctly?
You receive written documentation of the current condition, which you can take back to the seller or your agent while the transaction is still open.
