Do I Need To Be There For A Home Inspection?
As a home buyer, do you need to be there for your home inspection?
It's a question that comes up often with home inspections: Does our client need to be present for the inspection?
The short answer to this questions is no, but... You do not need to be present during a home inspection, but there are reasons why you may wish to be present for at least part of the home inspection.
In our experience, most people find the inspection process to be tedious and even boring after a while. That's because most home inspections take anywhere from three to five hours (or occasionally even longer). That's a long time to hang around while your inspector(s) look over every nook and cranny of the house with a careful eye toward anything that may not be right.
Most commonly, our clients do not attend home inspections. Among those clients who do wish to attend, many either arrive at the beginning of the inspection and then leave after a while or arrive toward the end of the inspection so that we can review any major concerns about the property.
While we always inform clients that they are welcome to attend the inspection if they prefer, we also understand that it may not be feasible or even all that interesting. If you do want to attend the inspection, you may find the most value in coming toward the end of the inspection so that we are able to review any concerns with you and point out those issues you in person.
Still, you are welcome to attend the entire inspection if you would prefer. We will try to explain as much as possible as we proceed through the inspection, but there will also be times where I need to focus on documenting our findings.
