Any applicable cancellation fees, deposits, refunds, or rescheduling charges will be governed by the applicable service agreement and legal requirements.

These website Terms & Conditions do not independently establish a cancellation fee or nonrefundable deposit.

7. Customer Responsibilities and Property Access

Customers are responsible for providing accurate property information and ensuring that the inspection team has appropriate authorization to access the property.

Customer responsibilities may include:

• Providing accurate property and contact details.
• Arranging access to agreed inspection areas.
• Obtaining permission from property owners or authorized representatives.

• Disclosing known hazards or unsafe property conditions.

• Providing available documentation reasonably necessary for the requested service.

Additional preparation requirements may be communicated before the scheduled inspection.

8. Scope and Limitations of Property Inspections

Property inspections are performed according to the scope established in the applicable inspection agreement and relevant professional standards.

An inspection generally evaluates accessible and observable conditions at the time the inspection is performed.

Unless expressly included in the agreed scope, an inspection may not identify:

• Concealed or inaccessible defects.
• Conditions hidden behind walls, floors, ceilings, or other finished surfaces.
• Defects that develop after the inspection date.
• Every possible safety concern or future maintenance issue.
• Conditions requiring destructive testing or specialized equipment.
• Issues outside the agreed inspection scope.

An inspection report describes observed conditions and findings within the applicable scope. It does not guarantee that a property is free from defects.

9. Residential Home Inspections

Residential home inspections may include evaluations of visible and accessible structural components, roofing, plumbing, electrical systems, heating and cooling equipment, and other agreed building components.

The inspection identifies observed conditions, deficiencies, and concerns that may require maintenance, repair, or further evaluation.

A home inspection is not a guarantee of future property performance or a substitute for specialist assessments where additional evaluation is recommended.

Specific inspection inclusions and exclusions will be governed by the applicable inspection agreement.

10. Commercial Property Inspections

Commercial property inspections may involve reviewing accessible building systems, structural components, exterior areas, and other features included in the agreed inspection scope.

Commercial inspections may vary according to building size, occupancy, use, complexity, and customer requirements.

Additional assessments, environmental evaluations, engineering reviews, or regulatory compliance inspections may require separate services or qualified specialists.

Findings are based on the agreed inspection procedures and conditions observed at the time of service.

11. Property Valuation Services

Property valuation services may involve evaluating property characteristics, location, condition, market activity, comparable sales, and other relevant factors.

Valuations represent an assessment based on the information available, the agreed methodology, and market conditions at the relevant date.

Actual market prices may vary because of changes in demand, financing, property conditions, negotiations, or other market factors.

Unless expressly stated in the applicable agreement, a property valuation does not guarantee a particular sale price, financing decision, or investment result.

The purpose, intended use, and permitted reliance on valuation reports may be governed by separate service agreements and applicable professional requirements.

12. Radon Testing Services

Radon testing services are intended to measure radon levels under the testing conditions and procedures applicable to the requested service.

Radon concentrations may fluctuate over time because of weather conditions, ventilation, seasonal changes, building characteristics, and other factors.

Testing results reflect the conditions and measurement period associated with the test.

Radon testing does not guarantee that concentrations will remain unchanged or that all potential exposure risks have been eliminated.

Customers should follow any applicable testing preparation instructions to help maintain appropriate testing conditions.

13. Mold Inspection Services

Mold inspections may involve evaluating visible conditions, moisture concerns, and other indicators within the agreed inspection scope.

Additional sampling, laboratory analysis, or specialized testing may be required depending on the circumstances and services requested.

Mold inspections may not identify all concealed microbial growth or moisture problems within a property.

Inspection findings do not automatically establish the absence of mold in inaccessible areas.

Any health-related concerns should be discussed with an appropriate qualified healthcare professional.

14. Sewer Line Inspection Services

Sewer line inspections may use specialized camera equipment to evaluate accessible sections of drainage or sewer piping.

The inspection may identify visible obstructions, damage, deterioration, or other observable concerns within the areas accessible to the equipment.

Inspection coverage may be limited by pipe configuration, blockages, accessibility, equipment limitations, or existing system conditions.

A sewer line inspection does not guarantee that every pipe defect or future plumbing issue will be detected.

Repairs, excavation, or additional plumbing services are outside the inspection scope unless expressly agreed otherwise.

15. Inspection Reports and Delivery

Following an inspection, Estates Inspections and Valuations may provide a written or electronic report describing relevant observations and findings.

Reports may include photographs, recommendations, testing results, and other information associated with the agreed service.

Estimated report delivery times may vary depending on the inspection type, complexity, testing requirements, and other circumstances.

Report delivery expectations will be governed by the applicable agreement or confirmed service arrangements.

Customers should review reports carefully and request clarification if any findings or recommendations are unclear.

16. Inspection Findings and Recommendations

Inspection findings reflect observed conditions at the time of service and are based on the applicable inspection scope.

Recommendations for maintenance, repair, or further evaluation may be included when appropriate.

Customers are responsible for deciding whether to pursue recommended repairs or additional specialist evaluations.

Where necessary, customers should consult appropriately qualified contractors, engineers, environmental professionals, or other specialists.

Inspection findings should be considered alongside other relevant information when making property decisions.

17. No Guarantee of Property Condition

Property inspections are intended to provide information about observed conditions within the agreed scope.

They do not constitute a guarantee, insurance policy, or warranty against present or future property defects.

Conditions may change after an inspection because of usage, deterioration, environmental factors, maintenance, repairs, or other circumstances.

Nothing in this section excludes any warranty, professional duty, or consumer protection that cannot legally be limited.

18. Real Estate and Investment Decisions

Inspection and valuation information may assist buyers, sellers, investors, property owners, and other parties in evaluating real estate.

However, property transactions and investment decisions involve factors beyond the scope of an inspection or valuation report.

Customers should seek independent legal, financial, engineering, or other professional advice when appropriate.

Estates Inspections and Valuations does not guarantee a particular transaction outcome, financing approval, property appreciation, or investment return.

19. Report Confidentiality and Third-Party Use

Inspection reports and valuation documents may contain confidential property information, photographs, and customer details.

Reports are prepared for the intended client and purpose identified in the applicable service agreement.

Sharing, redistribution, and reliance by third parties may be subject to contractual terms, customer authorization, professional requirements, and applicable law.

Unless authorized or otherwise permitted by law, third parties should not assume that a report has been prepared for their benefit or that they are entitled to rely upon it.

20. Property Photographs and Documentation

During inspections, our professionals may capture photographs, videos, testing records, and other documentation relevant to the requested services.
