Just bought a home- Inspection time- Question

[Account Closed]

Thanks for looking into my thread. 

I just purchased a home that has a septic and I am ready to move foreward with scheduling home inspection and septic inspection.

I received a quote from an inspector to come and do it all for a total of $700.  Is this a fair price for both home and septic inspection? First time home buyer here.

Thanks!

It varies area by area.  In NH, its standard that all inspection costs are borne by the buyer.  They pay for a general inspection and a septic inspection.  Its not required to get it pumped before closing, just to have it inspected and be in working condition.  Goes to show you how different states are in their requirements and how people seem to do business.  $700 seems fair for an all-inclusive package though.
