A home inspection in NH will cost you between $300-$500 for the general inspection. This typically is figured by the square footage of the home.

Radon air testing
It is important to test for radon testing in New Hampshire. We are the granite state and within the granite you will typically find radon.
The typical cost for radon testing with a home inspection will run you somewhere between $150-$200. It is cheaper with an inspection if it is done alone it will typically cost you more.
Septic Inspection
This is another real important cost if your getting a NH home inspection. These systems don’t last forever and they can be very expensive to replace.
A septic inspection will typically cost you $240.
Older homes inspection cost
An older home will usually have an additional fee depending on the age of the home. Usually, this fee will run you an additional 75-100 bucks.
The reason for this is that these older homes typically have a lot more character with additional add-ons, crawl spaces, and also age will put a toll on a lot of the structure of the home if it was not maintained properly.
