EP.01 When we buy a house, is "Hire a Home Inspector" necessary? 🛠🏡✨

A newbie buying a "first house" like us 🏡✨ has no idea that there are a lot of details to deal with. Like "hiring a home inspection company" is another very important thing, because he will be the one who inspects the structure, sanitation, electrical, plumbing, so that we can be more confident in buying a house.

The company we chose to inspect the house this time is "Home care inspection, inspected by an engineer," which is a company I know, very detailed, worth the price, very comfortable, no headache at all. 😍👍

🛠 Home checklist details

✅ Category 1 Electrical System

✅ Category 2 Plumbing, Sanitation

✅ Category 3 roofing materials and roof structures

✅ Section 4 Aesthetic Architecture and Applications

✅ the scope of examination, from the fence of the lawn outside the house to the inside of the house.

It takes about 3-4 hours to check. Once the check is done, we will talk to the project engineer about the defect correction and send the check report within 3 days. Our house is a single family home with 144 sqm of living space. There are already 266 checklists. If you can do it yourself... Of course not. 🤣 Hiring a check is worth it and is very necessary for a house buyer. 👍
