A buyer's home inspection is a full visual inspection of a home you are under contract to buy, done during your inspection period. It tells you the condition of the roof, structure and major systems so you can ask for repairs or credits, plan your budget, or cancel before your deadline.
What you get as a buyer
- Full inspection of roof, structure and systems
- Photo report within 24 hours
- Findings prioritized for negotiation
- A walkthrough of findings on site
- 4-point and wind mitigation in the same visit
- Plain-language answers to your questions
Work to your inspection-period deadline
Most Florida purchase contracts give you a limited inspection period. A report within 24 hours leaves you time to get contractor estimates, talk to your insurance agent and decide on repair requests before the deadline. Have your deadline handy when you book.
Insurance is part of buying in Florida
Your insurer may need a 4-point inspection on an older home, and a wind mitigation inspection can document windstorm discounts. Booking them with the buyer's inspection means one visit and no surprises late in the deal.
After the inspection
Read the report by priority: safety items, major systems near the end of their life, then anything involving water. See what happens after a home inspection for the next steps.
Common questions
When should a buyer schedule a home inspection?
As soon as you are under contract, so the report arrives well before your inspection-period deadline. Reports are delivered within 24 hours.
Can I attend my buyer's inspection?
Yes, and it is encouraged. The end of the inspection is the best time to see findings in person and ask questions.
What does a buyer's home inspection cost?
It depends on the home's size, age and any added services. The free instant quote tool at the top of this page gives you an exact quote in about a minute.
