Schedule a West Palm Beach Home Inspection, Mold Inspection, Mold Testing, Wind Mitigation, 4 Point Inspection, Chinese Drywall Inspection and more

Please read this Inspection Agreement carefully:

This is a standard home inspection agreement used across the home inspection industry. It is required to be completed by the client prior to a home inspection, wind mitigation inspection, 4 point inspection, mold inspection, mold testing and any other home inspection service provided prior to inspection. Without a home inspection agreement a home inspectors insurance may not be binding.
It also helps us serve our clients better by giving us all the information needed to get to the property and get the reports out to our clients.
It eliminates mistakes as all information provided by our client is transposed directly to your reports as well as providing times and addresses that are synced directly to our calendar and GPS system.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

It is agreed by all that this inspection is to be performed according to the following terms and conditions:

Introduction
Beacon Home Inspection Services cannot determine during the inspection that the roof leaks or is watertight unless there is visible evidence of a leak at the time of inspection; the inspection is on material condition only. Estimated life expectancy given on the roof is an estimate only on the amount of time left before the roof will need to be fully replaced and does not guarantee against roof leaks or that repairs and maintenance during this time will not be needed. Furthermore, this inspection does not cover code compliance, soil or groundwater contamination, geological, design, adequacy evaluation. Low voltage or ancillary wiring such as landscape lighting, cable or satellite TV, intercom/sound systems, remotely controlled or specialized control panels are beyond the scope of a general home inspection. Components such as solar panels or other secondary heating sources as well as whole house generators, pool heaters or heat recovery systems require specialized equipment and an extended period of time for proper evaluation which is not within the scope of a home inspection though we will make every effort to identify visual deficiencies. Beacon Home Inspection Services reserves a 5% margin or tolerance. This inspection will include the above elements unless otherwise restricted by the client. At times, conditions may exist and may not have any visible signs to indicate its existence. Such items must be disclosed by the seller of the property. Beacon Home Inspection Services recommends that Client seek the advice of his legal counsel and/or real estate agent to identify items subject to disclosure in additions to those set forth in Beacon Home Inspection Services written inspection report. Beacon Home Inspection Services also highly recommends checking for permits on all additional construction performed on the property after the original construction.
Beacon Home Inspection Services inspections are performed with consideration given to the age of the structure, items marked good must in all cases be considered good for the age of the item. Also, items in less than good condition must be marked as such, even though the condition may be normal for the age. Opinions vary from person to person and the report is the opinion of the inspector and must be considered as such. This report is not a mold or hazardous materials inspection unless otherwise agreed upon by the client and a representative of Beacon Home Inspection Services in writing.

1. Beacon Home Inspection Services will provide the Client a limited-time visual inspection and report of the following readily accessible and visible pertinent, major elements existing in the structure on the date of inspection: central air conditioning, central heating, interior electric, interior plumbing, foundation, basement, roofing, siding, interior walls, floors, ceilings, and built-in kitchen appliances. Beacon Home Inspection Services shall have no obligation to repair or replace any items found to be defective, whether or not discussed in Beacon Home Inspection Services written report. Conditions that may exist relating to any legal and/or public records are outside the scope of this inspection and it is highly recommended that due diligence be followed by the buyer or buyers attorney with regards to zoning and permitting for any and all updates and improvements that may have been made to the property.

2. Payment of the home inspection fee(s) entitles client to one original of the computer generated inspection report(s) including photographs. A report may be sent to a third party such as a real estate agent only by the clients request as denoted by this agreement. Payment, in check, cash, or credit card, is due prior to the start of the visual inspection. The liability of Beacon Home Inspection Services is limited to the terms and conditions as set forth in this contract between Beacon Home Inspection Services and the Client. Client expressly releases Beacon Home Inspection Services from any and all claims arising out of the contract.

3. Client represents and assures Beacon Home Inspection Services that Client has secured all approvals necessary for entry onto the premises to be inspected. Client further agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Beacon Home Inspection Services from demands or claims alleging a trespass upon the premises to be inspected. It is the responsibility of the Client or Client's Agent to ensure the utilities are on at the time of inspection. If utilities are not on and we have to reschedule for a later date a $125 cancellation fee will be accessed.

4. This Order Form, with its terms, conditions and disclosures, constitutes the entire agreement between Beacon Home Inspection Services and Client for all inspection agreed upon within this form and preformed by Beacon Home Inspection Services.

5. Beacon Home Inspection Services has no liability for occupied/unoccupied homes and structures, and the inspection is only good until the inspector leaves the property. Disgruntled sellers/squatters often change the condition of the property and no guarantees will be made by Beacon Home Inspection Services.
