The home is being sold "AS-IS," do I still need a home inspection?
Even though the home you are looking to purchase is being sold “AS-IS,” we still highly recommend getting a thorough home inspection. While you may not get your home inspection during the sale, it’s critical that you understand the home you purchased.
How long does a home inspection take?
The time it takes to complete a Full Home Inspection depends on a number of factors including the home’s square meter, if any additional buildings or areas are being inspected, and if additional services are being provided. On average, a 100 SQM home takes 2 hours to inspect.
