TIPS FOR CHOOSING A RELIABLE BUILDING INSPECTOR

When it comes to buying a home, it's essential to choose a qualified professional to inspect the property. However, there are several red flags to avoid when selecting a home inspector. Conducting research on different inspectors beforehand will help you make an informed decision and get unbiased information about your investment from a certified professional organization.

THE INSPECTOR DOESN'T HAVE LIABILITY INSURANCE … Reputable home inspectors understand the importance of protecting their clients and themselves, which is why they carry liability insurance. This type of insurance safeguards you against any damages that may occur during the inspection or as a result of the inspector's negligence. If an inspector does not have liability insurance, it's best to keep looking for a qualified professional who does.

THE INSPECTOR NEEDS TO GAIN EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR PROPERTY TYPE … When it comes to property inspections, it's important to choose an inspector who has experience with the type of property you are purchasing. Whether you're buying a single-storey home or a multi-unit building, selecting an inspector with relevant experience will give you peace of mind knowing they have the knowledge and skills to identify any potential issues specific to your property type.

THE INSPECTOR DOESN’T HAVE REGISTRATION AS A BUILDER OR BUILDING PRACTITIONER … It's important to ensure that your building inspector has undergone rigorous training and meets high standards as a building practitioner. A great way to check their credentials is to see if they're registered with a professional organization like the Victorian Building Authority (VBA). This can give you peace of mind that you're working with a qualified and trustworthy professional.

THE HOME INSPECTOR REPORT NEEDS TO BE MORE DETAILED … When it comes to building inspections, it's crucial to receive a comprehensive and detailed written report from your inspector. This report should provide enough information for you to make an informed decision about the property. If you find that the report is lacking in detail, it could indicate that the inspector was negligent or missed something important. To avoid these issues, it's important to choose an inspector who will provide you with a thorough and detailed report.
