This type of inspection is usually performed for a buyer after a property has been put under contract and prior to closing of escrow. In many cases, a Buyer's Inspection will help both the buyer and the seller to identify damage or other problems that may exist with a property so that both parties will have a better understanding of issues that may need attention before closing. Even if the seller has already performed a Seller's Inspection, buyers should still perform their own inspections to prevent "seller's bias" in any shape or form.
