Important Information About Your DIGS Report

​

A DIGS Report is intended to help property owners organize and understand information concerning a property. It is an informational resource and should be used as one part of a broader decision-making process.

​

No Guarantee of Property Condition

​

No report, database, inspection, or information service can identify every condition affecting a property.

​

Conditions may be hidden, inaccessible, intermittent, develop after an inspection or data retrieval, or otherwise be unavailable to DIGS or its service providers.

A DIGS Report is not a warranty or guarantee of the past, present, or future condition of a property.

​

Professional Inspection Limitations

​

A standard home inspection is generally a visual evaluation of readily accessible and observable systems and components and is subject to limitations and exclusions.

The applicable Inspection Provider's agreement and professional standards govern the actual scope of an inspection.

​

Massachusetts specifically describes a home inspection as inherently limited and states that it is not an appraisal, building-code inspection, guarantee, or insurance policy. Massachusetts Government

​

Third-Party Data

​

Property, title-related, valuation, permit, neighborhood, environmental, school, market, and other information may originate from third-party or public sources.

Such information can contain errors, omissions, reporting delays, inconsistent records, or unavailable data.

​

DIGS does not warrant that third-party information is complete, current, or error-free.

​

Valuations Are Estimates

​

Any property valuation, market estimate, comparable-sale information, or related analysis appearing in a DIGS Report is informational only.

​

It is not an appraisal and should not be relied upon as a substitute for an appraisal performed by a licensed or certified appraiser when one is required.

​

Actual market value and sale price may differ materially.

​

Title Information Is Not Title Insurance

​

Any ownership, lien, encumbrance, deed, or title-related information included in a DIGS Report is informational only.

​

It is not a legal title opinion, title examination, title commitment, title insurance policy, or guarantee of marketable title.

​

Consult a qualified attorney or title professional for title matters.

​

Permit and Government Records

​

Permit, assessment, tax, zoning, building, and other government information depends on records made available by the relevant governmental authority.

​

The absence of a record in a DIGS Report does not establish that no permit, violation, restriction, obligation, or other matter exists.

​

Environmental Information

​

Environmental and hazard information may be based on databases, maps, geographic models, or third-party records.

​

Such information is not a substitute for property-specific environmental testing or professional environmental assessment.

​

Neighborhood and School Information

​

Neighborhood, school, transportation, amenity, and related information may change and may originate from third-party sources.

​

Users should independently verify information material to their decisions.

​

No Professional Advice

​

Nothing in a DIGS Report constitutes legal, tax, financial, engineering, architectural, environmental, appraisal, insurance, or other regulated professional advice unless expressly provided by a separately identified licensed professional acting in that professional capacity.

​

Independent Due Diligence

​

Buyers, sellers, owners, agents, lenders, and other users remain responsible for conducting whatever independent due diligence is appropriate for their circumstances.

DIGS is designed to provide better information—not eliminate the need for professional judgment or independent investigation.
