Home inspectors in Maryland: 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 Maryland?
A Maryland seller of a home with four or fewer units must give the buyer either a disclosure statement or an as-is disclaimer statement, on the Real Estate Commission's form, on or before the contract (Real Property 10-702).
