Is a purchaser allowed access to the property to conduct a home inspection for informational purposes only?
Question: Is a purchaser allowed access to the property to conduct a home inspection for informational purposes only?
It depends. If the contract is contingent upon a home inspection and the home inspection addendum is part of the contract (thereby allowing the purchaser the right to void the contract under the contingency, but not negotiate specific items), then access to the property is permitted under paragraph 11. If the contract is not contingent upon a home inspection, but purchaser wishes to conduct a home inspection for informational purposes (without the right to void under the contingency), then the purchaser must add language to the contract giving the purchaser access to the property, or obtain the sellers consent.
