Boulevard Property Inspection - Services / Home Inspection Agreement

Agreement

The Client requests the inspection of the Subject Property subject to the following limitations and conditions:

The inspection is based on a visual examination of the readily accessible features of the building, and is performed in accordance with the Standards of Practice of the American Society of Home Inspectors and Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors.

The written report provided after the inspection is an opinion of the present condition of the property. The inspection and report are not a guarantee, warranty or an insurance policy.

I have read, understood and accepted the terms of this agreement and the limitations and conditions stated below.

Limitations and Conditions

1. The inspection is not technically exhaustive. Such inspections are available at much greater cost.

2. Without dismantling the house or its systems, there are limitations. Clues and symptoms often do not reveal the severity of problems. Some problems present no clues during the inspection. These will not be identified. For example, we will not find shower stall leaks that occur only when someone is taking a shower. Other conditions are only visible when furniture is moved or carpets are lifted.

3. The purpose of a home inspection is to examine buildings to evaluate the condition of the components and determine whether systems are performing their intended functions. We do not evaluate the quality of indoor air or determine if there are irritants, pollutants, contaminants or toxic materials or organisms in the home including such things as mold or mildew. We may use the presence of mold to aid in our evaluation of the building itself, since the moisture, which supports mold growth, may damage the building components or systems. However, we will not comment on the implications of the presence of mold itself.

4. Emphasis is placed on major expenses. While some minor problems are found when looking for major items, an all-inclusive list of deficiencies will not be provided.

5. Costs reported provide an order-of-magnitude only. Contractors should be contacted for specific quotations.

6. The report is not complete without the Bottom Line, report forms and reference text.

7. We will have no liability to the Client for any claim or complaint if conditions have been disturbed, altered, repaired or replaced or otherwise changed before we have had a reasonable period of time to investigate.
