Buyer advocate verdict

A solid, improving-district home with real upside — but a recent addition and an unconfirmed HOA both need paperwork before you offer.

Question to send the agent

“Can you confirm the addition shown in Wake County permit records received a final inspection and certificate of occupancy?”

Why: to verify the added square footage was legally completed.

Must verify

“Confirm the recent addition (visible in permit records) received a final inspection — request the closed permit and certificate of occupancy from Wake County.”

Settle this before you write an offer.

Document to request

“Certificate of Occupancy for the Addition”

Why: permit records show the work but not a confirmed final inspection.

Questions buyers ask first

Does this replace a home inspection?

No. It tells you what to point the inspector at, and what to ask the seller before you pay for one.

Which areas are covered?

Any US address gets flood, radon, property, neighborhood and cost sections. North Carolina and Florida also get the state's official school grades, and five counties get verified school-boundary lookups.

Where does the data come from?

Public and licensed sources (FEMA, EPA, the Census, school districts, county records, Parcl Labs and others), named on every section with the date retrieved. No agent or seller input.

What if the report fails after I pay?

You'll see a clear error instead of a broken report. If you were charged and didn't get a usable report, contact support with your confirmation email.
