Pre Purchase Inspection Checklist

What areas of your home can a registered house inspector check? Here’s a quick overview plus some primer below. Inspect My House can make you sure that a licensed home inspector will inspect all of these areas so any suspicions on our professional skills be gone.

• Starting at the peripherals – A certified home inspector almost always begins at the obvious overall condition pertaining to the home in comparison to other homes already within vicinity plus any significant changes that may have been done by natural occurrences and/or overhauls. They also take note materials used, years in existence and the general maintenance done to it.
• Exterior – After the notes above, a perfect pre purchase inspection should move to areas outside the house that would be of concern. This includes garden landscape, gutter cleaning, foundation, doors, walkways, roof maintenance etc. The procedure should always be done from up down and from afar to nearer structures outside the house.
• Interior – Once done outside, examination happens within the home, checking the floors ceiling, mechanical systems, basement (if available) and all rooms and its systems.

As far as this goes through,  a pre purchase home inspection still has limits such as those that are only conducted by other professionals: toxic substances such as mold and radon gas, asbestos and pest control.

On the other hand, there are more regulations to follow if you have a commercial space you wish to be inspected before purchase. We can discuss more information on pre purchase building inspections in succeeding issues of our blog.
Regardless of inclination, inspectors who are part of InterNACHI have a slightly better edge than those who don’t.
