A comprehensive assessment of a residential property, typically conducted around eleven months after the initial purchase, identifies potential defects or deficiencies that may not have been apparent during the initial inspection or have developed since occupancy. This service often covers structural components, electrical systems, plumbing, and HVAC systems, providing a snapshot of the property’s condition as the initial builder warranty nears expiration.
Undertaking this evaluation can prove invaluable, enabling homeowners to address issues under warranty before they become more significant and costly. Its benefits extend to ensuring continued safety and comfort within the dwelling, potentially increasing property value by proactively maintaining its condition. Historically, such proactive evaluations were less common, but with increasing awareness of homeowner rights and warranty coverage, their popularity has surged.
