Just like any other sale, your buyer has the right to fully inspect the property within the frame of the inspection contingency of the purchase agreement. Seller will not order or pay for any inspections.

It is very important that you give us at least 3 BUSINESS DAYS NOTICE PRIOR to scheduling your inspection. Some utilities (such as electricity) will likely be on prior to your making an offer, others will not (such as gas or propane) The Listing Agent has NO control over the work schedules of the local utility companies. As such the Listing Agent will not be responsible for re-inspections and/or associated fees. It is not a bad idea to visit the property a day PRIOR to the inspection to check if systems are on and working.

The seller, or our company, will not approve any pre-contract inspections. Additional utilities will not be turned on, de-winterizations will not occur. Radon tests will not be performed etc. This is the purpose of the inspection contingency. Assess the property the best you can in the condition it is in. Negotiate a successful offer and include an inspection contingency. Then you can complete an inspection and address anything found under approved conditions in an inspection response.

HUD will not approve any pre-contract inspections. Additional utilities will not be turned on, de-winterizations will not occur. Radon tests will not be performed etc. This is the purpose of the inspection contingency. Assess the property the best you can in the condition it is in (everybody else will be looking at it the same way). Make a successful offer. Then you can complete an inspection and address anything found under approved conditions in an inspection response.

HUD-owned homes inspection procedures are coordinated with the Field Services company only AFTER the HUD purchase agreement has been ratified (executed) by HUD.
