Condominium & Townhouse Inspection
Condominium & Townhouse Inspection
Understand Your Unit. Buy and Own With Confidence.
A condominium and townhouse inspection helps buyers and owners understand the condition of the individual living unit and the systems they are responsible for maintaining. These inspections provide clarity, reduce uncertainty, and support informed decision-making.
What Is a Condominium & Townhouse Inspection?
A condominium and townhouse inspection is a detailed evaluation of the interior components and systems within an individual unit. While homeowners associations often maintain exterior elements and common areas, the responsibility for many interior systems typically rests with the unit owner.
This inspection focuses on the areas and systems that directly impact the safety, functionality, and comfort of the living space.
Why Condominium & Townhouse Inspections Matter
✔ Clarify Owner Responsibilities
Understanding which systems fall under owner responsibility helps avoid unexpected repair costs after purchase.
✔ Identify Hidden Issues
Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or moisture-related concerns may not be visible during a showing but can affect livability and long-term costs.
✔ Support Negotiations
Inspection findings may be used to request repairs or negotiate pricing prior to closing.
What the Inspection Covers
A condominium and townhouse inspection typically includes a visual evaluation of:
- Electrical systems and panels
- Plumbing systems and fixtures
- Heating and cooling systems
- Interior walls, ceilings, and floors
- Doors, windows, and appliances
- Visible structural components within the unit
- Safety-related items and visible defects
Exterior elements and common areas are generally excluded unless specifically requested.
Important Things to Understand
- Homeowners associations vary in what they maintain and cover.
- Review of HOA documents is outside the scope of a standard inspection.
- Inspections are limited to visible and accessible areas at the time of inspection.
The inspection provides information, not guarantees.
Is a Condominium & Townhouse Inspection Right for You?
This inspection is recommended if you want to:
- Understand the condition of the unit before purchasing
- Avoid unexpected post-closing repairs
- Plan future maintenance responsibly
- Own with confidence and peace of mind
