Should you always perform an inspection before buying a home?

That's a decision only you can make.


But if you are going to waive the contractual inspection period make damned sure that you thoroughly inspect the property before making an offer. You can download an inspection checklist from the internet that will be a guide as to what to look at.

Yes, not only the general inspection but also a septic and fireplace inspection (if applicable).
