Any renovation, remodeling, refurbishment, or rehabilitation (hereafter, “renovation”) of an older structure, or any part of an older structure, might expose defects which were not noted or were not visible at the time of the inspection. It is highly likely that an older structure has had problems associated with it in the past, such as roof leaks, plumbing leaks, drainage leaks, and damage by wood-destroying pests and organisms.
While we strive to prepare an accurate report of the condition of the property at the time of the inspection by visual means only, it is virtually impossible to compile an exhaustive, complete, or definitive list of defects and areas of concern in these circumstances due to the time-limited nature and generalizations inherent with a home inspection, as well as |
areas of the property not being visible, not being accessible, having been repaired and/or painted, or being considered dangerous and unsafe. The information contained in Section 4 – Areas of Concern should not be construed as an exhaustive, complete, or definitive list of defects and areas of concern for an older structure.
Recommend adjusting renovation budgets for unexpected or unforeseen circumstances. Recommend creating a list of appropriate personnel (plumber, electrician, etc.) for use in an emergency situation; this should be done before move-in. |
