Home Inspection Expert Witnesses

A home inspection is an examination of a property’s safety and current conditions. These inspections take place as a condition to the property’s sale.  A buyer arranges and pays for a home inspection to help convince the buyer to buy the house. Inspectors will check a house from the foundation to the roof. The inspection also includes the heating and A/C systems, interior plumbing and electrical, attic, roof, walls, ceilings, floor, windows and doors. Dependent on the inspection’s findings the buyer may choose to buy the house, renegotiate the sale price, request the owner make repairs, or cancel the sales contract. Home inspections are non-invasive investigations that focus on the condition that a house is in, and is very often associated with the sale of that house.
