Townhouse Inspections

A townhouse shares walls, and sometimes roofs and utilities, with the units next door. That attachment is where the questions specific to this kind of home come from, and it is where I spend extra attention.

I inspect the full home from roof to foundation, the same as I would a detached house: structure, roof, exterior, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, and interior. On top of that I evaluate the party wall condition and the shared assemblies, looking for the fire separation, moisture, and sound-related issues that attached construction tends to hide.

Where a homeowners association maintains part of the property, I explain which components are yours to maintain and which are shared, so there are no surprises after closing.
