Proposed Bill No. 5235, introduced by REP. TURCO of the 27th District, aims to amend the general statutes to mandate that purchasers of residential property, including condominiums and other common interest ownership communities, obtain a home inspection by a licensed home inspector in the state before the final sale of the property. This bill has been referred to the Committee on INSURANCE AND REAL ESTATE for consideration.

The purpose of the bill is to ensure that all purchasers of residential property in the state are required to have the property inspected by a licensed professional prior to completing the sale. This would potentially help to identify any issues with the property before the transaction is finalized, providing protection for the buyer. The bill does not include any text regarding deletions from current law, focusing solely on the insertion of the new requirement for a home inspection.
