Total Home Inspections Question

[tiffanywelch]

Hey everyone.

I'm in the process of buying a new home, and naturally, I want to ensure that everything is thoroughly inspected before finalizing the purchase. However, I'm a bit overwhelmed by the idea of Total Home Inspections. What exactly does this entail? Are there specific areas or aspects of the home that are commonly included in such inspections? Additionally, are there any lesser-known areas that I should make sure are inspected as well?

Furthermore, for those of you who have gone through this process before, do you have any tips or recommendations? Are there any red flags or warning signs that I should be on the lookout for during the inspection?

Any advice or personal experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated. I want to make sure I'm as informed as possible throughout this process.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Interior and Exterior Evaluation​

Our meticulous assessment encompasses every room and space within your property, scrutinising walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors for any imperfections. On the exterior, we examine the property’s facade, roofing, guttering, and external finishes, ensuring everything is in pristine condition.

Additional Areas​

We understand that your property extends beyond the main building. Therefore, our inspection also includes outdoor spaces such as gardens, patios, driveways, and garages. These areas are evaluated for their finish, structural integrity, and overall integration with the property.

Quality of Workmanship​

Our inspectors rigorously compare the workmanship of your property against industry standards and best practices. This includes checking for proper installation and finishing of materials, ensuring electrical and plumbing systems are working, and verifying that fixtures and fittings are properly installed and functioning.
