The Truth About HOME INSPECTION REPORTS! What They Leave Out...(Homebuyers SHOULD WATCH This Video!)
The home inspection industry has changed a lot in recent years, and for many new homebuyers, home inspection reports often raise more questions than they answer. This short video from The Honest Carpenter will explain some fundamental truths about the home inspection industry...from a professional carpenter's point of view!
There was a time not long ago when many of the home inspectors you met had actually worked in the construction field at some point. But in recent years, this has changed!
Now, many newer home inspectors gain all of their knowledge of homes from various training programs and accreditation services, like the AMERICAN SOCIETY OF HOME INSPECTORS.
These programs and services are fairly thorough in their training--but they still do not/cannot teach inspectors much about how houses are actually built!
As a result, modern home inspectors often have less knowledge about homes than their predecessors.
Many homeowners are confused by the line items on their inspection reports. MAJOR ISSUES seem to be paired with MINOR ISSUES--there is no delineation of importance in the report.
In some cases, major issues are missed altogether in a house if an inspector cannot reach a certain area, OR if a former homeowner's clutter prevents them from seeing something.
For best results, do as much of the inspection walk-through as you can with the inspector. Also, if possible, do online research to find inspectors with SOME construction experience. You may be able to glean slightly more information from these inspectors!
Thanks for watching!
