Does buying a house “AS IS” mean you can’t do inspections?
Even if the Spring Texas home you are interested in is being advertised “AS IS”, you still have the right to have the home inspected. Homes that are being sold as a short sale or as a foreclosure are typically sold ”AS IS” and it means the owner/seller of the home is selling it in its present condition. Whatever that condition may be.
You are accepting the home with all its faults and deficiencies. The phrase “AS IS” is a classic buyer beware situation where the buyer should take the time and spend the money to have the home professionally examined and inspected.
