Do I need a home inspection when buying a house in Virginia?

Yes. Get the inspection. It’s your best protection against surprises and

an essential leverage point in negotiations.

 

What an inspection gives you

• Clarity: Roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, structure—know the truth.

• Negotiation: Repair requests or credits if issues appear.

• Plan of care: Even great houses have a maintenance roadmap.

How we run the play

• Pair you with the right inspector for the property type/age.

• Attend, translate findings, prioritize true risks vs. noise.

• Negotiate smart—focus on safety, systems, and high-dollar items.

Special cases studies, insurance).

• Condos/townhomes: Inspect inside systems + HOA docs (reserve

Older homes/coastal homes: Extra attention to moisture, crawlspaces, and roofs.

 

Bottom line: Skipping an inspection can cost you 10x later. We’ll make the process

decisive and calm. Ask for our “Buyer Inspection Playbook.” It’s the checklist we use for our own homes.
