Who pays for building inspection?

The buyer of the building pays for the building inspection. It is part of your due diligence when looking to buy a property that you will want to have it assessed. The requirements for the seller of a house vary per state, but it will always be in the buyers best interest to get a full report before committing to buy any building.

What happens if building inspection fails?

A building inspection can’t fail, as it isn’t a scoring system. Each building contains positives and negatives and the building inspection report functions to make you aware of weaknesses, maintenance needs, and other problem areas. It can also reassure you of the soundness of construction and the quality of the building. If the building inspection reveals a large number of problems, then you – the buyer – can renegotiate on price, or pull out of the sale altogether.
