A home inspection is a professional evaluation of a property's condition. It is not legally required in Utah but is strongly recommended. Inspections typically cost $300–$600 and take 2–4 hours. You can negotiate repairs, a price reduction, or walk away based on the findings. Utah's REPC provides a due diligence period (typically 14 days) for inspections.
