Do buyers who purchase foreclosed homes need to get a home inspection?
Yes! While this is not required, buyers who purchase foreclosure properties need to be prepared to order a home inspection from a licensed home inspector, as well as order a termite letter and in some cases, conduct other inspections related to septic tanks, lead based paint, radon (a poisonous gas), mold and pools, as necessary, to ensure they are aware of the property’s condition when they purchase.
