How to compare quotes for home inspection

Cheapest is not the same as best value for home inspection. A slightly higher quote with a complete scope and no open-ended extras is often safer than the lowest figure with caveats.

What moves the price of home inspection

What pushes home inspection toward the top of its range? Premium materials, awkward access, urgent scheduling, extra permits and disposal. Each is optional to a degree, and each should be itemised before you compare totals.

Getting quotes for home inspection

A good home inspection quote lists what is included, what is excluded and how long the price is held. If it does none of those, ask for a revised version.
