Can A Property FAIL The Inspection?
No. A residential or commercial property inspection is simply an examination into the current condition of your prospective real estate purchase, at the time of transfer. It is not an appraisal nor a municipal code inspection, but a thorough visual inspection with all the systems and components operated and/or tested by their normal controls. An inspector, therefore, will not ‘pass’ or ‘fail’ a property, but seek to identify any material defects in the structure, it’s major systems and/or components that are present and accessible to assure their proper function as was originally intended, and with regards to the safety and habitability of the property.
