Why Do You Need a Buyer's Inspection?

An NPI inspector discusses findings with two clients and points out an intriguing detail.

Our NPI inspectors were beyond thorough, more than happy to educate along the way, and overall made my fiancé and I feel more comfortable about buying our first home. If you’re going somewhere else, you’ve already messed up.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buyer's Inspections

National Property Inspections Delaware County is here to help you get the clarity and confidence you need to make an informed home purchase. Below, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions that homebuyers have about inspections, so you can feel informed and prepared as you move forward in your homebuying journey.

The average home inspection takes between 2 and 3 hours. Factors that can affect the inspector’s time on site include the size and age of the property, and any additional services requested.

We encourage you and your agent to be present for the last 30 minutes of the inspection so that we can conduct a final walkthrough. During this time, we’ll show you any important findings and you’ll have a chance to ask as many questions as you’d like.

Your inspector will assess all of the home’s major structures and systems to determine their current condition, as well as needed maintenance or repairs. We also pay close attention to issues that can compromise the health and safety of a home like water intrusion, gas leaks, smoke detector functionality, handrail placement, and trip hazards.

Houses never “pass” or “fail” an inspection. Anything can be fixed! We are here to act as an unbiased third party so that you can understand the condition of the home and make the best decision for your family.

No, your inspector will not damage, modify, or move anything in the home to complete the inspection. We have the tools and technology to spot hidden issues and enter hard-to-reach places without the need for invasive measures.

The inspection report we provide is the property of the party that pays for the inspection service. In most real estate transactions, the homebuyer pays for the inspection of the home they’ve made the offer on.

It depends. Based on the type of loan you’re applying for, a home inspection may be required or optional—but either way, it’s always a good idea.

Here is a list of tasks that the current occupant or listing agent should plan to complete prior to the inspector’s scheduled appointment.

Our Client Testimonials

Here’s what our inspection clients have to say about their experience with NPI.

April B.
My word! I cannot say enough about NPI. I am a first-time homebuyer and needed an inspection. Rashon is so thorough! My realtor said it was one of the best inspection reports they'd ever seen. Please hire this company! Rashon contacted me the next day after the inspection report was published to ask if I had any questions. Superior customer service! Rashon Fentress and NPI is awesome!
Jeremiah D.
Rashon did an amazing job! He has impressive knowledge of all parts of the house. He answered all of the questions I had and gave me great tips to use going forward. I highly recommend Rashon and National Property Inspections Delaware County. He offers great prices and his service is tremendous!
Amina K.
The homebuying process can be so stressful, but Rashon made the inspection part so smooth. He took his time with a thorough and detailed report and also followed up once he was done. I highly recommended this Rashon and National Property Inspections to everyone.
Brandon C.
NPI to the rescue! I purchased a new construction home and I’ve had issues with the property after purchase. I was referred to NPI by a long-time friend who rehabs houses in the Philly Metro and Maryland areas, so I trust her recommendation. Rashon was very knowledgeable about the construction and materials used. I couldn’t be happier with Rashon’s work - definitely recommended!
Lena L.
Rashon was great to work with. Not only was he flexible with his schedule and willing to come out on a day most companies are closed, he arrived early! He made sure our concerns were answered during the inspection and took the time to go over all major points. Also, the report came back quickly! We will definitely use him again in future transactions.
Anthony K.
Rashon was efficient and professional the entire time, and he made sure I and my clients were aware of issues he noticed. As a realtor, I come across a lot of home inspectors and Rashon was in the upper echelon of inspectors. I plan on working with Rashon and National Property Inspections again!
Tony L.
My inspector Rashon was a pleasure to work with. He inspected my second property I made an offer on and he was very thorough and detailed on the report. My schedule was very tight and on short notice, and Rashon was very accommodating. I would definitely do business with him again.
Kwame C.
I became aware of NPI in 2019 when I utilized their services in Md. I trusted them and wanted to use them again in Delaware. I made contact with Rashon who covers the Tri-city area, and he was personable, responsive, a great communicator, and detailed-orientated. He provided a through report, and performed recall on home items. I highly recommend!
Ernest G.
The inspector, Rashon, was very thorough, honest, and diligent. He did a great inspection. It made me proud that we have people of his caliber in the property inspection industry. When I say he's good at his work, I mean it. He is the real deal. I would recommend him to anyone who needs his services!
Mark P.
NPI is a life saver! Rashon was thorough and explained everything during our inspection. He even came back and did a follow-up inspection after the sellers "fixed" the call-out which revealed the issues were actually never fixed. He saved me thousands! I am so glad I went with NPI. Thanks again, Rashon! I HIGHLY recommend his services
