Home inspectors in Massachusetts: 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 Massachusetts?
Massachusetts does not require a general property condition form. A seller must give the buyer the state lead notice before the purchase and sale agreement is signed (M.G.L. c. 111, 197A), with a penalty of up to $1,000 for failing to do so.
