Home inspectors in Connecticut: what buyers ask
How much does a home inspection cost?
No federal agency sets or publishes a home inspection price. HUD says FHA performs none, and EPA says fix radon at 4 pCi/L or more.
What must a seller disclose in Connecticut?
A Connecticut seller of a one- to four-unit home must give the buyer a written residential condition report before the buyer signs a binder or contract (Conn. Gen. Stat. 20-327b). If the seller does not, the buyer gets a $500 credit at closing.
