CONFIDENTIAL PROPERTY INSPECTION REPORT
Report # 1123 Main Street
Dear Your Name:
At your request we have performed a generalist home inspection of the property located at 123 Main Street Apopka FL 32712 The standards of the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors are the standards by which our inspections are performed, they may be viewed online at: www.internachi.org/sop
Generalist inspections are essentially visual, and distinct from those of specialists, inasmuch as they do not include the use of specialized instruments, the dismantling of equipment, or the sampling of air and inert materials. Consequently, a generalist inspection and the subsequent report(s) will not be as comprehensive, nor as technically exhaustive, as those generated by specialists, neither are they intended to be.
The purpose of a generalist inspection is to identify defects or adverse conditions that would warrant further evaluation by trained specialists and also to alert you to those items that either are in need of immediate attention or are cosmetic in nature and in need of on-going attention. Therefore, you should be aware of the limitations of this type of inspection.
While the information we provide may serve to minimize risk, no report can totally eliminate it. At all times however our intent is to provide you with accurate information about the property so that you can make an informed decision.
For some people, the process of buying a home can be stressful. A home inspection is supposed to give them peace of mind, but often has the opposite effect because they are asked to absorb a lot of information in a short time. This information often includes a written report, checklist, photographs, and whatever the inspector himself says during the inspection. All this, combined with the Seller’s Disclosure and what they notice themselves makes the experience even more overwhelming. What is a Buyer supposed to do?
Our advice at OHIS.co always is: Relax.
Most of items cited in the inspection report will either be (1) maintenance recommendations, (2) life expectancies and or (3) minor imperfections. My goal as I prepare my report is to communicate those findings in a neutral, non scary manner, and as I do that, those issues usually fall into four basic categories:
Anything in the above four categories should be addressed. Often a serious problem can be corrected inexpensively to protect both life and property (especially in categories 2) and 4). I believe the Buyers’ have a right to know everything about the property they plan to purchase. I believe also that the Sellers are under no obligation to repair everything mentioned in the report. No home is perfect. So, keep things in perspective. Do not kill your deal over things that do not matter.
Now, as OHIS.co while we prefer to have our clients present at inspections so that we can more easily explain to them issues that may appear to be complicated or technical, over the years we’ve found that after receiving the inspection report potential buyers often look at a home from a different perspective. So, whether you were able to or unable to attend the inspection, we strongly encourage you to read the whole report thoroughly.
We recommend that you read each page of the report carefully, then if you have any questions, please call your inspector as soon as possible, preferably within seven days after you have reviewed the report so that your s/he may address your concerns in a timely manner.
Please note that neither the inspector nor the inspection company is associated with any other party to the transaction of this property except as may have been disclosed to you. And, we certify that neither the inspector nor the inspection company has any interest, present or contemplated, in this property or its improvements.
Also, we remind you that your inspector may have an affiliation with a third party service provider (“TPSP”) in order to offer you additional value-added services. This was disclosed to you in your
pre-inspection agreement. By entering into that agreement you (a) authorized your inspector to provide your contact information (including telephone number) to the TPSP, (b) waive and release any restrictions that may prevent the TPSP from contacting you (including by telephone), and (c) authorize the TPSP to contact you (including by telephone) regarding special home alarm system offers.”
To the best of our knowledge and belief, all statements and information in this report are true and correct.
We thank you for selecting Orlando Home Inspection Services (www.OHIS.co) as your home inspection company. It has been our pleasure to serve you and remember that we stand ready to assist you in any way that we can with any concerns you may have about your new home or with any other home you may purchase in the future.
Sincerely,

My goal as I prepare my report is to communicate those findings in a neutral, non scary manner, and as I do that, those issues usually fall into four basic categories:
- Major defects. An example of this would be a structural failure.
- Things that lead to major defects. A small roof-flashing leak, for example.
- Things that may hinder your ability to finance, legally occupy or insure the home.
- Safety hazards, such as an exposed, live buss bar at the electric panel
Anything in the above four categories should be addressed. Often a serious problem can be corrected inexpensively to protect both life and property (especially in categories 2) and 4).
