55 Elizabeth St A home inspection is a non-invasive visual examination of the accessible areas of the property designed to identify areas of concern within specic systems or components dened by the signed agreement and Standards of Practice that are both observed and deemed material by the inspector at the exact date and time of the inspection. Any and all recommendations for repair, replacement, or evaluation, should be performed by the appropriate trade contractors within the client's inspection contingency window or prior to closing, whichever applies to the contract, to obtain proper dollar amount estimates on the cost of said repairs and also because these evaluations could uncover more potential issues that are not able to be noted from a purely visual inspection of the property. This inspection will NOT reveal every concern or issue that exists, but only those material defects that were observable on the day of the inspection. This inspection is intended to assist in an evaluation of the overall condition of the dwelling only. A home inspection is not a code inspection. We recommend you check with your local building department for any closed, voided, failed, or unpermitted work before closing on the property. This inspection is not a prediction of future conditions and conditions with the property are subject to change the moment we leave the premises. This is not a cosmetic inspection. Reporting on cosmetic issues at the interior and exterior of the home is outside the scope of a general home inspection. Cosmetic issues are not part of the home inspection standard of practice. Identifying cosmetic items is your responsibility during your nal walk-through or "blue tape inspection". If you would like to hire Carolina Premier Inspections to perform a cosmetic blue tape inspection this will have to be scheduled at a dierent time than your home inspection for a separate fee. Your home inspector may report on substantial cosmetics for your information. How to read this report: The defects within the report are organized into three categories.
