Pre- Home Inspection Checklist

Print out this checklist and use it when home hunting or getting ready to sell. It will help you save time, money and help you make more informed decisions on a property before you get to the official inspection or if you're the buyer just run away and find another house.

Time and time again we find things during our inspections that are obviously wrong and can kill a deal leaving the clients having to start all over again finding another house and paying for yet another inspection.  Sometimes they’ll say “how did we miss that”!!

Use this checklist as a preliminary evaluation of all the important parts of the house beyond the location, layout, cosmetics.

Check off those items that are in good condition and make notes about those that are not. You may end up passing on that house or making a more concise offer.

This checklist should not be relied upon as a home inspection report, nor should it be considered a substitute for a home inspection by an experienced practitioner. This list is representative, but NOT exhaustive.  

It is always recommended that you hire a full qualified home inspection practitioner to inspect your home.
