A home inspection waiver is a document that waives the right of the buyer to have a home inspection performed on the property they are buying. Waiving a home inspection means that you are agreeing to purchase the home as is without any guarantees from the seller about the condition of the property.
If you waive inspection, you are buying the home in as is condition. You accept financial responsibility for all damage and defects, seen or unseen. That means you may buy a home that unexpectedly requires a substantial financial outlay for defects or damage after purchase.
A Property Inspection Waiver is a feature offered through Fannie Maes Desktop Underwriter system, which allows certain borrowers to bypass the traditional home appraisal. Instead of sending out a licensed appraiser, Fannie Mae relies on its automated valuation model (AVM) to determine the homes value.
Sellers might choose not to allow a home inspection for several reasons: Avoiding Negotiations: A home inspection can reveal issues that might lead to renegotiation of the sale price or demands for repairs. By skipping the inspection, sellers may hope to avoid potential price reductions or repair requests.
Requirements for Appraisal Waivers Down Payment or Equity: A minimum of 20% down is typically required, although exceptions may apply (like 3.5% down for FHA loans (Opens in a new Window) or 0% down for eligible USDA rural loans).
