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 Central New Jersey 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.

Katherine C.
Mike is an excellent home inspector. He is very knowledgeable and he has done an excellent job for us every single time. We’re a repeat client of his so we know that those who use him for his services won’t be disappointed. Thanks once again, Mike!
Lauren G.
Mike, Jennifer, and all of NPI exceeded our expectations! Jennifer was sweet and easy to talk to, and Mike was thorough and professional. Due to a medical issue with my son, I wasn’t able to attend the inspection. We received a courtesy call from Mike a few days later - not about the inspection but to check on our son! I can’t say many companies would do that. 100% recommended!
Akane T.
Amazing! Jennifer and Mike are THE BEST. I cannot stop raving to my friends how fortunate I was to find such a gem of a company. Jennifer is super friendly and eager to answer any questions. Mike was very thorough with the inspection and went over everything with me. I would definitely recommend them. You won’t be disappointed.

Buying a home is very stressful, but working with NPI was a blessing. During the inspection, Mike took his time and really made me feel comfortable about the house.

First-time home buyers like me have very little understanding of homes and home systems, so I definitely was very anxious. However, Michael and Jennifer were beyond excellent! Easy to communicate with and flexible, they made the process stress-free! NPI will definitely be the first on my list for future inspections. I highly highly recommend Michael and NPI for your inspection needs!
Jordan E.
Mike was very professional and thorough throughout the whole process of our inspection. He found many issues, although minor, that we were unaware of in the home were purchasing. Very glad we had him on our side!

We are very pleased with the services we received. The inspector was courteous, friendly, and on time as planned. The inspection was thorough and insightful, as we want to present an honest assessment of our home to a prospective buyer.
