MC2 Inspections Entity Map

The buyer's inspection

The standard product at the standard moment. What the scope covers, what it excludes by rule rather than by oversight, and what the report is actually for.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_inspection

Relations:

• PART_OF → Under contract
• RELATES_TO → Home inspection

A buyer's inspection is the ordinary home inspection, performed to the ordinary scope, at the moment the industry was built around: after an offer is accepted and before the contract's inspection or option deadline expires. Nothing about the occasion alters the product. This page is the baseline; the other fifteen occasions are departures from it. What makes the moment standard is not the inspection but the position the buyer occupies while it happens. The buyer has a signed contract, a deadline, and a contractual right to act on what the report says.

The pre-offer inspection

The same inspection, bought a week early and at your own risk. What it buys you in a competitive market, and the three ways it can cost more than it saves.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Before you offer

A pre-offer inspection is the standard home inspection. Same scope, same standard of practice, same deliverable — the inspector does not know or care that you have not yet written an offer, and nothing in any standard changes because of it. The verdict on this page is the same as on the buyer's inspection page for that reason. What changes is everything around the inspection. You are buying it with no contract, no access right, no deadline protecting you, and no remedy attached to whatever it finds.

Buying a house sold as-is

As-is restricts what you can ask the seller to fix. It does not restrict what you are allowed to find out, and the distinction decides whether you should still inspect.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Before you offer

An as-is sale does not remove your right to inspect. It removes the seller's obligation to fix what the inspection finds. Those are different things, and conflating them is the single most expensive mistake a buyer makes on this occasion — because the conclusion people draw from “the seller won't repair anything” is usually “so there is no point inspecting,” which is precisely backwards. The verdict here is standard inspection plus additions.

Buying a house sold as-is | MC2 Inspections — published by MC2 Inspections

Foreclosure and auction purchases

The one occasion where a conventional inspection frequently cannot happen. What can be established from the outside, from the record, and from the utilities.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreclosure

Relations:

• PART_OF → Before you offer
• RELATES_TO → Foreclosure

This is the only occasion on this site where the answer is frequently that there is no inspection to commission. At a trustee sale or a sheriff sale the bidder usually cannot enter the house, cannot turn on the utilities, and has no contingency to act on anything discovered afterwards. The product described everywhere else on this site — a visual examination of accessible systems and components, reported against a published standard — requires access to a building. Remove the access and what remains is not a reduced home inspection.

Foreclosure and auction purchases | MC2 Inspections — published by MC2 Inspections

Buying a property to rent out

An owner-occupier asks whether the house is sound. A landlord asks what fails first, what a tenant will call about, and what a habitability standard requires.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitability

Relations:

• PART_OF → Under contract
• RELATES_TO → Habitability

A property bought to rent gets the same home inspection as any other: same standard of practice, same visual scope, same report. It warrants two specific additions — a sewer scope wherever the waste line is buried or the lateral is undocumented, and a four-point inspection where the property's age means a carrier will demand one before writing the policy. What changes is the question you read it against. An owner-occupier asks whether the house is sound.

Buying a property to rent out | MC2 Inspections — published by MC2 Inspections

Buying a renovated or flipped house

Recent cosmetic work is the hardest condition to inspect, because the finish is new and what sits behind it is both invisible and recent. Permit history is the second report.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renovation

Relations:

• PART_OF → Under contract
• RELATES_TO → Renovation

A renovated or flipped house gets the ordinary home inspection — same standard of practice, same scope, same report. It also gets two specific additions that this occasion, and few others, genuinely requires: a sewer scope wherever drain lines were disturbed, and an evaluation by a licensed electrician or plumber wherever the permit record shows work was done without a permit. The reason is counterintuitive. A flipped house is among the hardest properties to inspect precisely because the finish is new.

Buying a renovated or flipped house | MC2 Inspections — published by MC2 Inspections

Inspecting a condominium unit

A unit inspection covers perhaps three percent of what you are buying into. Where the boundary sits, and why the association's documents are the larger half of the question.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Under contract

A condominium unit inspection is a different product from a house inspection, and the difference is not technical but legal. What gets inspected is defined by a boundary in a recorded document rather than by the walls of a building: the inspection covers the systems, fixtures, finishes and equipment inside the unit, and stops there. The building envelope, the roof, the foundation and structure, the corridors, and the central mechanical plant are the association's responsibility and sit outside the engagement. That is not an inspector declining work.

The new-build pre-closing inspection

A municipal inspector signed off on the code. Nobody has yet looked at the house on your behalf, and the two are not the same examination.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punch_list

Relations:

• PART_OF → Before closing
• RELATES_TO → Punch list

A brand-new house gets the ordinary home inspection: the same published standard of practice, the same visual scope, the same report. It also warrants three specific additions that this occasion makes sensible — a sewer scope or, on septic, a septic evaluation; a radon measurement; and a written re-inspection after the builder's corrections — each of which sits outside the standard scope by rule rather than by accident. What it does not get by default is anyone acting on your behalf.

The new-build pre-closing inspection | MC2 Inspections — published by MC2 Inspections

The final walk-through

A walk-through confirms that agreed repairs happened and that the house is in the condition you contracted for. It is not an inspection, and treating it as one is costly.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Before closing

The final walk-through is not a home inspection and nothing about it resembles one. No inspector is engaged, no standard of practice applies, no systems are operated in any methodical order, nothing is documented, and no report is produced. It is a visit, usually under an hour, usually with your agent, usually the day before or the morning of closing. Treating it as a safety net is the costly mistake this page exists to correct.

The final walk-through | MC2 Inspections — published by MC2 Inspections

The pre-listing inspection

The same inspection a buyer would commission, bought first. What that changes about negotiation, what it obliges you to disclose, and when it is the wrong move.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Before you sell

A pre-listing inspection is the standard home inspection. Same scope, same standard of practice, same exclusions, same report — the only thing non-standard about it is who is holding the invoice and when it was ordered. If you want to know what will happen on the day and what the document will say, the buyer's inspection page describes the identical product. What changes is the sequence.

The pre-listing inspection | MC2 Inspections — published by MC2 Inspections

Phase inspections during construction

Pre-pour, pre-drywall and final. Each one examines work that the next phase makes permanently invisible, which is why the timing is the whole product.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drywall

Relations:

• PART_OF → While it is being built
• RELATES_TO → Drywall

A phase inspection is not an ordinary home inspection moved earlier in the calendar. It is a different product: a sequence of separate examinations, each scheduled to a construction milestone rather than to a date, and each looking at work that will be poured over, closed up or covered before the next one happens. The conventional sequence is three — pre-pour, pre-drywall and final — though nothing fixes that number. Only the last of the three resembles the inspection most people have had.

Phase inspections during construction | MC2 Inspections — published by MC2 Inspections

The 11-month builder warranty inspection

The one-year workmanship warranty is the broadest coverage a new house ever has, and it expires on a date. What the 1-2-10 structure actually promises, and where it is codified.

Relations:

• PART_OF → After you own it

An ordinary home inspection describes a house for somebody deciding whether to buy it. This one produces a schedule of defects, dated and photographed, written to be submitted to a builder before a contractual deadline. Same inspector, entirely different product — because the audience is a warranty administrator and the test is not “should I buy this” but “is this a covered defect, and can I prove it in time.” The reason to do it at month eleven is arithmetic.

The 11-month builder warranty inspection | MC2 Inspections — published by MC2 Inspections

Move-in and move-out inspections

This is a condition record with a legal purpose, not a defect survey. What state statutes require of it, and what the federal habitability standards add when the unit is assisted.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_deposit

Relations:

• PART_OF → After you own it
• RELATES_TO → Security deposit

A move-in or move-out inspection is a condition record . Its purpose is to prove what a unit looked like on a particular date, so that at the end of the tenancy somebody can tell the difference between damage and ordinary wear and allocate the security deposit accordingly. That is a legal purpose, not a technical one, and it makes this a different exercise from a home inspection in every respect that matters.

Move-in and move-out inspections | MC2 Inspections — published by MC2 Inspections

The annual maintenance inspection

Commissioned by nobody's rule and against no deadline, so it is the one most often skipped. Its value is the second report, not the first.

Relations:

• PART_OF → After you own it

An annual maintenance inspection is an ordinary home inspection: the same visual scope, the same standard of practice, the same report. What differs is that no contract, lender, carrier or statute asked for it. Nobody is waiting on the result, no deadline expires if you skip it, and nothing happens if you never order one — which is why it is the most frequently skipped inspection there is.

The annual maintenance inspection | MC2 Inspections — published by MC2 Inspections

The four-point insurance inspection

Roof, electrical, plumbing and HVAC, on a prescribed form, commissioned because a carrier will not write the policy without one. It answers their question, not yours.

Relations:

• PART_OF → After you own it

A four-point inspection records the age and condition of four systems — roof, electrical, plumbing and heating and cooling — on a form the insurance carrier supplies, and sends it to an underwriter. It is not a home inspection performed on a shorter list. It is a different product, with a different client, a different governing document and a different deliverable, and it substitutes for a home inspection in no sense whatever. It exists for one reason: a carrier will not write or renew the policy without it.

The four-point insurance inspection | MC2 Inspections — published by MC2 Inspections

Inspecting an inherited property

Nobody present knows the house, systems have often been off for months, and the person commissioning the inspection usually owes a duty to somebody else.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probate

Relations:

• PART_OF → Before you sell
• RELATES_TO → Probate

An inherited property gets a standard home inspection . There is no probate inspection product, no estate standard of practice, and no separate form. What this occasion needs on top of the ordinary scope is a short, specific list of additions that a long-unoccupied older house argues for, and one piece of preparation that matters more than all of them put together. Three things make this different from any other inspection, and they compound rather than simply adding up. Nobody present knows the house.

People ask whether they need a home inspection. The useful question is which one, and at what point. This is a plain-English reference to the 16 occasions on which somebody commissions one — what the standards actually require, what the report will and will not say, and why the window you choose decides how much the findings are worth.

Home Inspection Guides: Checklists, Reports, the Day

Guides to the home inspection itself — what a checklist covers, what the words in a report legally mean state by state, and what happens on the day.

The occasion pages answer which inspection you need and when. These guides answer how the thing itself works: what a checklist can and cannot establish, what the words in a report legally mean and why they mean different things in different states, and what actually happens on the day. Three sections, each headed by a pillar page worth reading before the guides beneath it.

Home Inspection Guides: Checklists, Reports, the Day — published by MC2 Inspections

Home Inspection Checklists: What They Record

A checklist records presence and absence. An inspection judges condition. Build one from what the standards require and exclude, not from somebody's opinion.

A checklist is a tool for reading an inspection, not a substitute for one — and the useful ones are built from the standards.

Home Inspection Reports: No National Standard

How Long Does a Home Inspection Take?

No primary source states a duration — not TREC, HUD, ASHI, InterNACHI or eight state rulebooks. Massachusetts is the one state that documents it.

The “two to three hours” everybody repeats has no primary source. Here is what we looked in, and the one rule that answers it.

How to Read a Home Inspection Report

Read the not-inspected entries first. Then the summary page, the disposition markers and the recommendation verbs. With a regulator's quality checklist.

The items marked not inspected are the ones to read first. They are where the unknown risk in the house is recorded.

Severity Language in Reports, State by State

Deficiency, material defect, significantly deficient, in need of repair: seven definitions compared. Two of them contradict outright. Table and sources.

No national definition governs the words your report uses for a problem. Which test applies depends on where the house is.

What Counts as a Material Defect?

InterNACHI defines material defect by value or risk to people, and excludes end of service life. Wisconsin's statute does the opposite. What that means.

Under the standard most inspectors work to, a component being at the end of its life is not, in itself, a material defect.

When Do You Get the Inspection Report?

Only Illinois (2 business days) and North Carolina (3) set a report deadline. Massachusetts says only timely. Ohio's three-day rule is widely misread.

Two states set a numeric deadline. Most set none at all, which makes the inspection agreement the only clock you have.

mc2inspections.com is an independent reference on the home inspection itself — who commissions one and when, what happens on the day, what the report says, and what to do with it afterward. The site performs no inspections. It schedules nothing, quotes nothing, sells nothing, and refers no one to anybody. There is no booking form here, no telephone number, no directory of inspectors and no price list. Those absences are deliberate, not unfinished work.
