A property inspection is a professional evaluation of a home’s physical condition, typically performed before closing. Inspectors assess the roof, structure, plumbing, electrical, HVAC systems, and more to identify potential issues or needed repairs. For investors, inspections are a critical part of due diligence—they help you avoid surprise costs and negotiate repairs or credits before finalizing a deal. Meridian’s new-construction homes undergo multiple quality checks before sale, but buyers are always encouraged to do their own third-party inspection for peace of mind.
