What is the difference between an appraisal and a home inspection? (See list of FAQ's)
Appraisers do not do provide home inspections and are not home inspectors. An inspection is a third-party investigation of the accessible structure and electrical and mechanical systems of a property, from the roof to the bottom. Generally, a home inspection report will evaluate the amenities and the requirements of the property: air conditioning (weather permitting), electrical systems, the condition of the heating system, the plumbing; then the structural integrity of the home such as the attic, accessible insulation, walls, floors, ceilings, windows, then the foundation, basement and visible structures.
