Should I get my own HUD Property Inspection

[Sean Salandy]

How reliable is the home inspection report (or PCR) found on the HUD website? Should I get my own property inspector to take a look at the home or should I trust it? Also, can someone briefly explain the Escrow Description section of the Property Condition Summary? The specific summary I am looking at lists a few items including the following:

• Install Smoke Detectors
• Install Missing Blow Down Pipe
• Install Cap on Open Sewer Line

Then there is the following:

• Total Escrow Amount 0
• 110% of Total Escrow Amount 0

Thank you in advance!

You can request the HUD property report from your agent I just closed on a HUD home and the report is quite detailed over 33 pages with excellent pictures ,. @Charlie Fitzgerald is correct in that the report is only used for VA and FHA appraisals . The best advice as always is to do your own due diligence with your home inspector
