Pre-Purchase Inspection Liability

[Newton Hunt]

Z! is correct.

I charge the same as a tuning for an appraisal and I use the following form that I
fill out, one for me, one for them.  I check everything and make notes according to
what is found.

This tells me what I saw and said even years later.
