Condo & Townhouse Inspections for Every Situation
Whether you’re purchasing your first condo, selling a townhouse, or conducting due diligence on a rental property, our specialized inspections provide the information you need.
Pre-Purchase Condo Inspections
Make an informed buying decision by understanding the true condition of the unit and the building. We identify unit-specific issues and assess common area conditions to help you negotiate repairs or adjust your offer price accordingly.
Pre-Listing Seller Inspections
Prepare your condo or townhouse for sale by identifying and addressing potential buyer concerns in advance. A pre-listing inspection demonstrates transparency and can speed up the sales process.
Investment Property Inspections
Protect your rental property investment with a thorough evaluation of the unit’s condition, potential maintenance costs, and building assessment risks.
High-Rise Condominium Inspections
High-rise condos present unique challenges including complex building systems, structural recertification requirements, and strict HOA regulations. We have extensive experience inspecting high-rise properties throughout South Florida.
Townhouse Inspections
Townhouses combine elements of single-family homes with shared walls and common areas. Our inspections evaluate both your individual unit’s systems and the shared structural components between units.

Frequently Asked Questions About Condo Inspections
How is a condo inspection different from a house inspection?
Condo inspections focus on unit-specific components and accessible common areas rather than the entire building structure. We evaluate your unit’s systems, balcony, windows, and interior while assessing visible building conditions. We also consider HOA responsibilities and can review association documents to identify financial or structural concerns.
Will you inspect the roof and exterior of the building?
In most condos, the roof and building exterior are HOA responsibility. We conduct a visual assessment of these areas from ground level and accessible locations, but we cannot perform invasive inspections of common elements. We recommend reviewing the HOA’s engineering reports and reserve studies for detailed building assessments.
Do you review HOA documents?
Yes, we offer optional HOA document review as an add-on service. This includes analysis of reserve studies, special assessments, maintenance records, insurance claims, and pending litigation. This review helps identify potential financial obligations and building-wide concerns.
How long does a condo inspection take?
Most condo unit inspections take 1.5-3 hours depending on square footage, number of balconies, and accessibility to common areas. High-rise inspections may take longer if we assess multiple building systems and amenity areas.
Can you identify special assessment risks?
While we cannot predict future special assessments, our inspection and optional HOA document review can identify building conditions and reserve fund deficiencies that may lead to special assessments. We look for deferred maintenance, structural concerns, and financial indicators in HOA documents.
Do you inspect townhouses?
Yes, we inspect townhouses and understand the unique characteristics of shared-wall construction. Townhouse inspections typically include more exterior components than condo inspections since townhouse owners often have responsibility for their own roofs, driveways, and landscaping.
