Some cities require a Truth-in-Sale-of-Housing Inspection (TISH) before a home is put on the market for sale. These are also known as Point-of-Sale Inspections, Time-of-Sale Inspections, or Code-Compliance Evaluations. The main focus of the TISH inspection is basic information on the safety of the dwelling, and each city that requires one has different mandatory repairs.
You may wonder what the difference is between a TISH inspection and a buyer’s inspection. Here are a few key differences:
• Required by certain cities prior to offering a home for sale
• Focuses on health and safety issues
• Inspection standards & requirements are set by each city that mandates a TISH
• Will include required repairs as well as recommended ones
• The home seller sets up and pays for this inspection
• Optional and paid for by the buyer
• Typically performed after the buyer has an accepted offer
• Typically takes 3 – 4 hours and the buyer can be present for part of it
