What is a Home Inspection? Checklist

• By property inspection, the company that
  introduced home inspections in India, described
  in great detail.
• According to Wikipedia, a home inspection is a
  limited, non-invasive analysis of a home's
  condition, often in connection with the selling
  of that home.
• Home inspections are normally carried out by a
  home inspector who is qualified and authorized to
  carry out such inspections.
• The inspector prepares a formal report of the
  findings for the client and delivers them.

• The consumer then uses the information acquired
  to make educated choices about their pending
  purchase of real estate.
• At the time of inspection, the home inspector
  explains the state of the home but does not
  guarantee the future condition of systems or
  components, efficiency, or life expectancy.
• This simply means that a qualified/certified Home
  Inspector specialist, using a checklist, assisted
  by software-supported instruments, conducts a
  home inspection and provides a report that
  represents the current condition of the home.

Home Inspector

• The Home Inspector is the most important in
  inspection.
• He must be a person whose knowledge of the
  process of home inspection is essential.
• You would want a person who is exclusively
  focused on home inspections and not someone who,
  as a side company, does home inspections.
• You can also look for people with qualifications
  and/or training from approved organizations.

• Everyone may pretend to be a home inspector, but
  experience, knowledge and qualification are what
  separates the best from the rest.
• One thing to remember is that the home inspector
  is always impartial and does not suggest the next
  steps or prescribe corrective action to the
  vendors.

Inspection checklist

• An integral aspect of the inspection is the
  checklist. For the area where the inspection is
  being performed, the checklist, i.e. the list of
  items to be reviewed in each home inspection,
  must be localized.
• It should also be detailed to ensure that nothing
  important is omitted and that everything, however
  minor, is included.
• For ease of use, the checklist can group related
  checks into various categories.

  builder/contractor to fix the problems.
• The study should be available for review online
  at any point in the future and on any computer
  possible.
• To decide on the next steps regarding the house,
  the client will use the study.
