What is condo & townhome inspection?
A condo or townhome inspection evaluates visible and accessible components within the agreed unit scope while recognizing that some systems may be maintained by an association.
Attached properties divide maintenance responsibility between the owner and an association. The inspection request should clarify the unit, included exterior areas, and accessible systems.
