Buying With Better Information
A Home Inspection Helps You Understand the Property Before the Purchase Becomes Final.
The company’s current buyer-inspection guidance emphasizes that a home inspection is part of buyer due diligence, with a written report covering visible conditions throughout the home.

Home Buyers FAQs
Questions Home Buyers Commonly Ask.
Why should a home buyer get an inspection?
A buyer’s inspection provides independent information about the visible condition of the property before closing. It can identify defects, maintenance concerns and conditions that may deserve further evaluation.
What does a buyer’s home inspection cover?
The current My City inspection guidance lists areas such as the roof, attic, insulation, ventilation, gutters, basement or crawlspace, foundation, grading, exterior, interior surfaces, doors and windows, electrical, plumbing, water heater, heating, cooling and major appliances within the agreed inspection scope.
How long does a home inspection take?
The current company FAQ says most inspections take about three to four hours, although timing varies with the size, age and condition of the home.
Should I attend the inspection?
The current company FAQ recommends that buyers be present at the inspection when possible so they can see important conditions and ask questions directly.
Can I add radon, mold or sewer testing?
Yes. My City Home Inspectors offers multiple ancillary inspection and testing services that can be added when they fit the property and transaction.
What happens if I have questions after the inspection?
The company encourages clients to contact the inspection team after the inspection to discuss questions about the home or report.
