Home Inspection Photographs
Question: I want to get a home inspection. Is it okay to photograph the property as I go around with the inspector?
Answer: When a home is bought there is a period of time between when a contract is created and when closing actually occurs. The seller is obligated to deliver the house at closing in substantially the same condition as it was in on the date the contract was created. For this reason, it is a good idea to have a photographic record of the property. But, buyers should be sensitive to owner privacy concerns and ask for permission to photograph. While an owner might say "no," most will not, in large measure because they want the transaction to go through.
