One thing a home inspector won’t do is reveal whether the property represents value for money.

If any serious problems are discovered the home inspector may recommend another, more specific inspection.

Before covering any aspect of construction a building inspection will be required.

The intention of the building inspection is to act as a spot check to verify code compliance.

A home inspector should check the following: All electrical systems, heating and ventilation systems, the primary source of water and water quality, the condition of the plumbing, waste disposal, water heating and foundations. The inspection should also include the doors, walls, ceilings, floors and the roof.

Always use a qualified and experienced house inspector. It’s always a good idea to ask round for recommendations form people that have used a house inspector in the past.

It’s important that building inspection services provide an independent and impartial inspection report to home buyers, sellers, mortgage companies, real estate professionals and insurers. The building inspection report must provide a clear depiction of the property at the time of inspection.

It’s advisable to be present when the house inspector makes their visit. Always wait until the inspection has finished before asking any questions you may have.

A building inspection enforces the State Construction Code; this will ensure that a building will meet minimum safety standards to protect either residential or commercial building users.

Environmental health protection is also included in a building inspection.
