CONDITIONS AND EXCLUSIONS

This inspection report will give you a partial picture of the condition of the property being inspected. It is recommended that you also obtain a complete disclosure from the seller as to their knowledge of any defects to the property. Rely on that disclosure together with this inspection report and any other available reports (termite, appraisal, permitted Work approvals etc.) for the overall condition of the property.

SCOPE AND PURPOSE:

This is a limited, visual inspection of apparent conditions in readily accessible areas of the home (the inspector will not move appliances, furniture, rugs, personal effects, boxes, etc.). This inspection is designed to determine the working condition status of those items listed in the inspection report. The scope and extent of this inspection and report is limited to the specific items in the report (subject to Exclusions) to the extent that they are readily visible, accessible and apparent. Freshly painted, modified or intentionally covered items may not show underlying problems.

This is not an inspection to detect code compliance, safety, design or cosmetic deficiencies. Cosmetic damage and/or imperfections such as holes or
blemishes in or on walls, torn wall coverings, bad drywall installation, cracked tiles, etc., are considered to be known and/or apparent to the client and are therefore not included in the scope of the inspection.

The inspection comments on the working condition of the items listed in the following report only. It does not intend to imply working condition of anything not expressly stated. Notations and comments on working condition apply to the item on the day of inspection only and in no way warrants or guarantees any length of remaining service. The report is not a guarantee or a warranty of the condition of any items mentioned or not mentioned in this report. The report is solely a listing of items that are and are not in working condition, in the opinion of the inspector, at the time of inspection.

Drainage system, septic tank, leach and drain field inspections are not done by Priority Inspections and are not part of this inspection. This is not a safety inspection.
