A decade ago, environmental issues were rarely a part of the
typical real estate transaction. Today, however, it's common for
inspections relating to environmental concerns to be part of most
sales contracts.
In many states, seller disclosure regulations will reveal knowledge of
certain toxic substances on a property. Typically, though, it's up to
the buyer to pursue environmental inspections and tie any findings to
the purchase offer.
Beyond Home Inspectors
Home inspectors who primarily focus on structural integrity and
working systems might not be qualified to conduct specialized
inspections for radon, asbestos and lead paint - substances that in
recent years have emerged as the most common environmental concerns
for home buyers. Testing for these substances typically requires a
specialists who will charge a fee beyond the basic cost of a general
home inspection.
As with any other inspection issue, the estimated expense of remedying
a toxic substance situation may have already been factored into the
home's listing price. Other times, the outcome of an inspection might
become a negotiating point.
