Why Do You Need a Buyer's Inspection?

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 Cape Coral 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.

Janet M.
We used NPI for a new home purchase recently. From the first contact, I was impressed with the professionalism and courtesy of everyone I dealt with. Jim personally did our inspection and we were impressed. He completed the report later that same day. Thank you for the great customer service and the thorough inspection!
John P.
Whenever my clients need an inspector I always recommend Jim with NPI first. He is easy to work with, easy to schedule, professional, knowledgeable, and creates a very detailed, easy-to-read report. He gets his reports to his agents and customers in a timely manner so that they can make their decisions within the inspection period.

I highly recommend NPI for your home inspection. Jim was very professional, educational, and extremely knowledgeable. We felt very confident with his inspection, and we appreciated his friendly and humble manner. The detailed home inspection report was very professional and extensive. Thank you very much Jim!!!
Don D.
Jim was professional, concise, and very timely. The report was easy to read, and I really liked the fact that he included pictures. This was really important as we live in Ohio and we are purchasing this condo in Florida. Jim was very friendly and best of all, a fellow Buckeye. Go Bucks!
Colton B.
Jim Vaughn from National Property Inspections inspected my DR Horton home, and then re-inspected it after repairs were made. He followed up with me promptly to discussed his findings. Jim was responsive, professional, high-quality, and provided great value to me. I highly recommend!
