The following narrative is for insurance inspections: A home insurance inspection is a process that helps insurance companies assess the risks associated with new homeowner or dwelling policies, as well as the renewal of existing ones. Essentially, it’s the insurance company’s way of verifying the condition or presence of specific systems and components as part of their due diligence to evaluate potential claims related to insuring your home. The results of this inspection can play a role in determining your insurance premium.

Home insurance inspections differ from the full home inspections that typically occur when buying a property. In a full inspection, potential homebuyers hire an inspector to thoroughly evaluate the property, checking for safety and structural issues before deciding whether to proceed with the purchase.

On the other hand, home insurance inspections are usually less extensive. They are conducted on a case-by-case basis and may not involve the same level of detail as a full home inspection.
