Duplex Property Inspection

Buying a duplex can be a fun and exciting time. Investing into a property and know it was the right choice is everyone’s main goal, but how do you know the current condition is how it is supposed to be and won’t end up costing you money and unexpected problems a few months or years down the road?

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a duplex inspection cost in Minnesota?

Duplex inspections in the New Ulm and Mankato area typically cost $400 to $600, slightly more than a single-family home due to the additional living unit, separate systems, and more components to inspect.

What extra items are checked during a duplex inspection?

Beyond standard inspection items, we check both units' separate systems, shared walls, separate utilities and meters, common areas, egress requirements, and rental code compliance concerns.

Should I get a duplex inspected before buying as an investment?

Yes. Duplexes often have deferred maintenance, especially in rental units. An inspection reveals hidden costs that directly affect your return on investment. We see many investors in the Mankato area benefit from pre-purchase inspections.
