RESIDENTIAL INSPECTIONS

• Pre-purchase residential inspections for existing homes, duplexes and condominiums
• Pre-listing inspections of homes before they are put on the market
• New home inspections for final check prior to possession
• Home warranty inspections. Most new homes come with warranties
• Maintenance inspections for homeowners. As a homeowner, do you know the condition and general maintenance requirements for the many systems in your home?
• Smaller industrial and commercial building inspections for pre-purchases, pre-listing or maintenance

This home inspection is performed prior to the purchase to avoid unpleasant surprises after the fact. House Review inspectors are trained to identify and interpret clues that indicate the general condition of the property. The inspection can help you learn as much as possible about your investment. Understanding what repairs are required or the possible upgrading alternatives will save you time and money. As well as pointing out defects, an inspection will reinforce the positive aspects of a home. House Review inspectors will also provide guidance and information on the general maintenance required to keep the home in good condition.

Most importantly, a House Review inspection can provide you with the peace of mind you need to make a proper purchase decision.

PRE-LISTING RESIDENTIAL INSPECTIONS

The Service:

• gives the sellers an idea of the overall condition of their home prior to listing, it allowing them to find and correct flaws before a buyer or their inspector does,
• allows the seller to be better prepared for the sale, and
• gives peace of mind knowing that your home is safe and sound.

Most people are under the impression that if they are buying a new home or condominium, their new home will be in perfect condition or that because the builder provides a warranty, there is no need for an inspection. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Are you getting everything you paid for? Usually, the home buyer goes on a pre-move inspection with the builder prior to the possession date. Having an independent third party inspector who's working for you will ensure a more thorough, unbiased inspection. Not only will we point out and report on defects but most importantly, we'll review all components of your new home with you, explaining the operation and maintenance requirements.

NEW HOME ONE-YEAR WARRANTY INSPECTION

Does your new home have a warranty? Do you know what is covered and for how long? This inspection should be conducted prior to the expiration of the one-year warranty. A comprehensive inspection will identify defects and building-related concerns that homeowners may want to bring to the builder's attention before the warranty expires.

HOMEOWNER MAINTENANCE INSPECTIONS

For most homeowners, repairing something when it breaks or leaks is unfortunately the norm. Having House Review inspect and review your home with you will provide you with a better understanding of your home and its maintenance requirements. Regular maintenance reduces long-term repair costs and helps maintain the maximum value of your home.

House Review's inspections can benefit you by:

• Finding small problems before they become big expensive problems
• Providing you with a detailed and comprehensive report on the condition of your home
• Saving you money by doing minor repairs now will save you from big repair bills in the future
• Ensures there are no surprises when you sell your home; chances are there won't be unexpected surprises
• Conducting the maintenance inspection for you. You may be too busy or unable to examine areas of your home, such as the roof or attic. We'll do it for you.
