The home inspection, a limited, non-invasive examination of the condition of the home at the time of the inspection, is one of the common contingencies of the real estate purchase agreement. The home inspector is usually hired by the buyer to examine the house thoroughly for non-functioning systems, damages, and repairs that may be needed. The homebuyer will rely on the findings from the inspection to continue with the purchase, renegotiate the sale price, allow the seller to make repairs, or for cancelling the purchase all together. A home inspection is recommended on all purchases; new construction and re-sales and is a normally done within a certain number of days from the date of the contract.
