The Arizona Real Estate Purchase contract allows the buyer to physically inspect the property.

For a fee, you can use the services of a licensed home inspector and other professionals, to get a better idea of the home's condition. The inspector will evaluate and report on the condition or status of items in the home.

Some of these areas are:

• Exterior walls, roof, patios, driveways and chimneys
• Interior fixtures, cabinets, sinks, and steps
• Plumbing fixtures
• Electrical system
• Heating and Air Conditioning Systems
• Some other potential inspections include:
• Termite & other wood destroying organisms
• Well and septic
• Pool and spa equipment
• Chimney inspection
• Expansive soil
• Square Footage
• Indoor Air Quality
• Property Boundaries
• Flood Plain Status
• Superfund Sites
• Mold

Verification of the Home Owner's Association (HOA) Disclosures and Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R's) is done to be certain of any pending assessments or use restrictions that may apply if the property is located in an area that has a HOA.

Most sellers also provide The Seller's Property Disclosure Statement (SPDS), which is a document that poses a variety of questions for the seller to answer about the property and its condition. You should review this information carefully prior to concluding the purchase process.
