Eugene, Oregon OR: Home Inspection and Commercial Building Inspector

National Property Inspections will provide you with a thorough unbiased, detailed, confidential and professional inspection of your property, whether that is your home or a commercial building.

Whether you’re buying or selling property, an inspection provides peace of mind as you make purchasing decisions. According to a recent study by the American Society of Home Inspectors and the National Association of Realtors, 8 out of 10 homebuyers order a home inspection as part of contract negotiations. They understand that having as much information as possible can reduce initial moving stress and provide direction on future maintenance plans.

NPI offers a full menu of inspection services to both residential and commercial clients. Our most popular inspections include new construction, existing residential and commercial buildings, multi-units, condos, manufactured homes, pre-listing inspections and 11th month inspections where new home warranties are about to expire.

Inspection savings
NPI inspections are unbiased. Even if you are familiar with the systems in a home and perform a thorough walk-through of your new property, it can be easy to see things through “rose-colored glasses.” After all, this may be the single largest investment of your life. An objective property inspection report not only saves you time, it gives you a clear, concise checklist of information regarding your home or commercial property and an understanding of the current condition of all major systems. This is true on both existing and new housing stock.

For some, it’s easier to understand that an older home will be in need of some maintenance and repairs. After all, you are purchasing a “used” piece of property. A new home can be just as demanding and expensive. According to a National Association of Home Builder’s study on new home buyer callbacks released in March 2006, home builders receive an average of three callbacks on each new home they build and spend an average of $476 on repairs. The top five problems include, paint, wall board, plumbing, doors and windows. Having a home inspection completed prior to closing on a new home, means you move in after problems are fixed so you can enjoy your new purchase.

What's New

We have received many inspection requests from investors planning to renovate properties. They may understand that there are some issues with outdated electrical service or heating systems, and have plans to replace these. They are most concerned with being assured that the home is structurally sound with a good foundation. A pre purchase inspection can give the buyer peace of mind, knowing that there are no major structural faults that could cost them thousands of dollars to repair.

During the course of the inspection, we can confirm what you already suspect about the property, and perhaps identify other serious issues which may not be so obvious. A pre purchase inspection is a great way to help you make an informed decision about such an important purchase, whether you are an investor or a first time home buyer.

Taking the time now to learn everything possible about a property may save you hundreds, even thousands of dollars in the future. Call your local NPI residential and commercial property inspector for a quote today.
