What do Home Inspectors do?
Home Inspectors (HI’s) are responsible for preparing Home Condition Reports and Energy Performance Certificates which are contained in a Home Information Pack (unlike Domestic Energy Assessors, who are only qualified to carry out EPC’s). A Home Inspector must hold a qualification at NVQ Level 4 (equivalent to degree level). As a HI, I have an in-depth knowledge and practical understanding of residential building construction and defects across a range of properties. These are set out in the approved National Occupational Standards for Home Inspectors. You can find out more about the standards on the SAVA website.
