What is a foreclosure inspection?

Foreclosure inspections are property assessments conducted on homes that are in the foreclosure process. Inspectors visit these properties to check their condition, ensure they are secure, and report any issues such as damage or unauthorized occupancy. The information gathered helps banks, lenders, or asset managers maintain the property and make informed decisions during the foreclosure process. Inspections may be routine or occur at specific stages, depending on lender requirements and local regulations.
