Questions

Common questions.

When should I schedule it?
As soon as your offer is accepted, so the finished report lands inside your inspection window with room left to respond.
Who do you work for?
You, every time. We are hired by the buyer, never the seller, and the report reflects only what we observed on site.
Is a former student rental in Northfield harder to buy safely?
It can be. Rental use may mean converted rooms, added circuits, older appliances and wear, and sometimes work done without a permit. Electrical panel and wiring, egress, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, plumbing and heating, and signs of deferred maintenance are the things to watch. The report tells you what needs fixing before or after closing.
Do you inspect Northfield's historic homes?
Yes — the college town's older stock and its newer development are both within our scope.
