Home warranty & home inspection guides
These guides cover the mechanics that the item-by-item coverage profiles assume you already know: how a home service contract is written and priced, what a home inspection is required to include, how a contingency period actually works, and what a buyer is supposed to do with a report full of findings. They are organised into three sections, each with its own overview page.
Start with a section overview
Each section has a pillar page that frames the whole subject before you go into the individual guides. If you are new to any of this, start there rather than in the middle.
