Yes. A House Charlotte inspection is required at no charge to the buyer which we will set up on behalf of the buyer. It is actually a “code inspection” and should not be considered as a comprehensive home inspection which the buyer is still entitled to have at the buyer’s own expense (typically around $350 – $450, but can be paid from House Charlotte funds if additional funds are left over). No inspection is required for new construction homes less than 6 months old.
