Home planning
Make the most of your first home inspection
A good first visit starts with your priorities.
An inspection is a chance to ask questions about the house as a whole. A short list of observations can help guide the conversation.
01Choose your starting point
Describe what prompted the visit and the questions you most want answered. Share your timing and any project constraints.
02Bring your records
Gather bills, existing equipment documents and records of previous work. You can still ask questions when some of the history is unknown.
03Agree on what comes next
Ask for a summary of the findings and a written explanation of proposed work. Confirm how to ask follow-up questions before making a decision.
Editorial draft for review. Final article, author and publication details to be confirmed.
