An exterior inspection provides photos and descriptions of the outside components of a property. It describes the home or property from a distance to get an overview. An exterior inspection covers the property's front, sides, and rear, and the surrounding area.
While there is value in inspecting and documenting the interior of a home, exterior inspections can provide critical value to landlords, investors, and anyone evaluating a property. It's the outer structures that give the house its ability to withstand extreme conditions like heavy wind, rain, and storm.
Therefore, a home's exterior doesn't only need to be attractive, but it should also be in proper condition. Additionally, the state of a building's outer structure can give you an insight into its interior.
