Walk-Through Inspections
A walk-through inspection is a comprehensive home inspection without a report! It is a much more informal inspection than my usual property inspections. It requires your attendance at the time of the inspection. As a result, I perform a visual inspection the same as a comprehensive inspection of the home/building and provide you with verbal comments at the time of the inspection summarising my observations. However, I do not provide you with a written report with photographs as I would normally do with a comprehensive inspection.
Most Affordable Inspection
A walk-through inspection is also very affordable. The cost is about half of what a comprehensive inspection would be. This type of inspection is mainly for clients who do not (at this point) want a full home inspection. Because a walk-through inspection is less formal, I do not adhere to the InterNACHI Standards of Practice that require me to generate a written report. You will need to be present at the inspection because I communicate my observations on the condition of the property orally to you.
If you cannot attend the inspection
However, if you can’t be present during the inspection, I will give you a verbal telephone report on any serious defects or issues found. Alternatively, I can provide you with a checklist report highlighting any serious issues found at a slightly increased cost!
Agreement
However, you will need to have a Walk-through Inspection Agreement in place. This is to protect me against liability for deviating from the requirements of the InterNACHI Standards of Practice.
