Most contracts provide that the buyer may, at his own expense, have the house inspected by professionals of his choice. Typical inspections include pest (termite) inspection, contractor inspection (includes electrical, plumbing, heating systems), roof inspection, swimming pool inspection, and soil inspection. These inspections may reveal defects which were not evident to the buyer, and which were not disclosed in the seller's disclosure statement. Depending upon the terms of the Deposit Receipt, the buyer may request the seller to either fix the defect, or provide funds so that the buyer can correct the defect after close of escrow.
