Pre-Purchase Inspections, Pre-Lease Inspections, Post-Lease Inspections, and Property Condition Assessments for Commercial Buildings with Nationwide Coverage

Whether you’re investing in a sprawling commercial campus or a smaller, double-unit building, an inspection is crucial for identifying immediate and deferred maintenance repairs. Types of properties we inspect:

The NPI Commercial Building Inspection is our comprehensive, full-service option for property owners. Commercial building inspections from NPI are conducted under the ASTM E2018 Standards of Practice. These types of assessments encompass pre-purchase, pre-lease, or post-lease inspections, as well as Property Condition Assessments (PCAs).

Property Condition Assessments (PCAs)

Property condition assessments from NPI are based on the ASTM E2018 Standard Guide for Property Condition Assessments so that you can be confident you’re receiving the full scope of any given building. PCAs are the most thorough services we offer at NPI. In addition to all of the components of our commercial building inspections, PCAs include a comprehensive guide to estimated repair costs located within the final report. This financial guide will give you detailed insight of a property’s deficiencies and peace of mind when moving forward in the acquisition process. Learn more about PCAs from NPI here.

Pre-Purchase Building Inspections

Many things are taken into consideration when deciding upon a commercial property: its location, size, and parking situation are just a few. But one of the most important things to keep in mind is the potential for repair costs. A roof in need of replacement or a defective HVAC unit could drastically increase your overall investment, which is why a pre-purchase inspection is essential.

A comprehensive NPI commercial real estate inspection will complete your due diligence so you can make an informed decision regarding your acquisition of a commercial property.

Pre- and Post-Lease Inspections for Landlords and Tenants

Long-term leases may hold tenants responsible for many or all repairs to their unit. Prior to signing a long-term lease, a tenant has the right to know whether the building is in need of major repairs such as a new roof or an upgraded electrical service. At the end of their lease, a tenant should order a commercial inspection to document the condition of their unit at the time of vacancy.

Likewise, landlords often rely on commercial building inspections prior to tenant occupancy and after tenant vacancy. This unbiased NPI commercial inspection provides document proof of any and all resident damages, determining potential repair costs or eligibility for a deposit refund.

Highly recommend NPI. Our inspector came over the weekend to inspect a commercial property that we are looking to purchase. He was thorough and took the time to explain everything. I feel confident that I have all the information to fairly evaluate the property. Won't hesitate to use again.
