When choosing an inspection company, cost should be the least of your concerns. Below is a comparison with some other fees incurred when purchasing a home. A complete checklist of closing costs can be found here: Closing Costs Checklist Home Inspection fee: This is the most important fee of all. The home inspection will tell you what is wrong with the home. It may also expose possible code violations or illegal additions. It will also determine if you are even going to buy the home. The actual fee is usually less than the fees above. A through home inspection performed by an established, competent inspector, is a bargain at any price! See below for Magnum Inspections Inc. Inspection Services.
When choosing an inspection company, cost should be the least of your concerns. However, what do you get for your money? Do you get a checklist report that doesn't really tell you much about your property? Do you get a narrative report that reads like "War and Peace"? Can you understand the inspection report? Does your inspection report include pictures? Does your inspection report provide estimates for repairs? Do you get an inspection report that merely refers you to tradesmen in each field? Below are samples of inspection reports from the files of Magnum Inspections Inc. Included with every inspection report are the " Standards of Practice" used for all Magnum Inspections Inc. inspections.Also, with the new inspection law in place, all Clients will be required to sign this " Inspection Agreement," prior to the inspection being performed.The first is from a "low ball", "Realtor friendly" inspection company. It is courtesy of Dennis Robatile, founder of the Independent Home Inspectors of North America.Low Ball Inspector Inspection Report The above inspection is handwritten, has no estimates, and is very hard to read. It is nearly impossible to glean any information from this report and may be considered by some, a waste of money. In the above report, the inspector was kind enough to list all of the model numbers as well as manufacturers for almost every item in the home. He also lists "Normal for age" after nearly every item. Age has nothing to do, in most instances with a home inspection. The item in question is either functioning properly or not. This inspector also states that " This inspection was performed during a time in which there was no rain. It is impractical to try to detect leaks without a water source. Moderate rain fall may not cause leaks but with the increase of wind and rain quantity leaks could occur." If this were truly the case, I would suggest that no roof inspections be performed, unless it is raining.Franchise Summary Page Inspection Report The above is a summary page form a well known franchise company. It merely refers the Client to specialists in each area where a deficiency was observed. There are no estimates. Again, after receiving this type of report, how much more "evaluation" is required? The inspection reports below were performed by Magnum Inspections Inc. These are actual inspection reports with the names and addresses removed, not as other inspectors have on their sites, "Samples of what your report may look like". 2014 Single Family Home Inspection Not only do you get the inspection report as depicted in the samples above, but the original, high resolution pictures are available , on request, for all Clients of Magnum Inspections Inc. Furthermore, if any Client has any questions pertaining to the inspection or the inspection report, we are always available to provide explanation and any backup documentation if needed. This documentation may include local code references and/or manufacturers installation specifications. The finished product is the most important part of the inspection. Always ask for sample reports from any prospective inspection company. You may be surprised at the type of report you are paying for .
