After inspecting a vacant property, which of the following is the BEST statement to include in your report?
  1. Unable to determine overall condition of electrical system at this time.
  2. Pre-closing inspection is recommended.
  3. Plumbing system is not available to inspect at this time.
  4. Heating and cooling systems are not functional at this time.
Explanation
Answer: B - After inspecting a vacant property, the best statement to include in your report is that a pre-closing inspection is recommended. It is common for certain systems to be turned off in vacant homes. Even if you can inspect the various systems, it is possible that defects would notbe visible until all systems are in full use. For this reason, the client should have another inspection completed before buying or selling the home. During the time between inspections, the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems should be in operation.
