DIY Home Inspections

"Do It Yourself" or "Doing-in Yourself" Home Inspections?

Expertise
The average home buyer has just enough construction knowledge to be dangerous. Even those with constuction knowledge tend to have experience in a limited number of areas.
It's what you don't know that can hurt you.


Objectivity
It's difficult for a Home Buyer to remain objective when examining the house on which he or she has got his heart set.


Liability
You can't sue yourself. Apart from having no-one else to blame, a Do-It-Yourself Home Inspection can result in disruption to marital bliss not to mention, financial hardship.

What About Friends Or Relatives?
Having a relative or friend to do an inspection is one of the most unfortunate ways to ruin a freindship, if something major gets overlooked.
