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 Willamette Valley South 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.

Ed M.
Greg did the inspection on my new build duplex. His attention to detail was fantastic and he helped me catch several things that needed to be repaired before close. Greg also took time to educate me on the various utilities on the property and their shut off points. I would highly recommend Greg to anyone needing an inspection.
Lorie Q.
This was my first experience with home buying and all that comes with the process. Greg was kind and took all the time I needed to ask questions and tour me around the home to show me what was on the report. Thank you so much for making this a positive experience. Your experience and integrity are very much appreciated.
Joshua W.
Greg with NPI went way above and beyond when trying to help with a mold inspection. He repeatedly took time out of his busy days to make sure that I had all the resources I could need to help with my situation. Amazing customer service. Very thorough reports complete with magnified images of relevant spores and allergen causing particulates.
Micah W.
Greg was prompt and thorough. He spent several hours combing through the property and he walked me through every item he found. Greg answered all of my questions, and I liked that NPI's reports allowed me to see a full overview or just a list of deficiencies, zoom in on photos, etc. I highly recommend NPI - well worth it!
Danya O.
Greg is not just extremely competent, he is also excited to expand his knowledge. I felt confident that if there was anything unfamiliar he came across, he would find the correct answer. The reports were top-notch and gave more than enough information on the property, and next steps for understanding repair costs.
Brittany M.
Greg is one of those people you meet and know he's just a good, trustworthy human being. He delivered great photos and walked me through everything without rushing us. He had the report to me within hours and even came back the next day to follow up on some items he couldn't access. I've seen a dozen inspection reports and Greg's is the best.
Stephanie P.
Greg was personable, knowledgeable and patient with all of my questions. He was thorough and even looked into areas of concern for us to ease our concerns and make the inspection specific to our needs. He was easy to reach and made the process stress-free. I would highly recommend Greg and NPI!
Debbie S.
Greg was pleasant, professional, explained everything, took pictures, and over-looked nothing. The speed in which he documented and returned the report was surprising to me. I was totally impressed with him. I feel that Greg really cares for his clients and does a fantastic job.
Joshua J.
Greg was very responsive to my initial request for an inspection. He provided a thorough report and turned it around in one day. Additionally, his fee was very reasonable. I definitely recommend Greg Edney and NPI for commercial property inspections.
