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. 👍

... Read moreถ้าเพิ่งซื้อบ้านหลังแรกเหมือนเรา คำถามยอดฮิตคือ “จ้างตรวจบ้านจำเป็นไหม” เราขอสรุปแบบเข้าใจง่ายจากประสบการณ์จ้างวิศวกรตรวจบ้านจริง ๆ ว่า ควรจ้างเมื่อไหร่ คุ้มไหม และเตรียมตัวยังไงให้ไม่เสียเงินฟรี ทำไมการจ้างวิศวกรตรวจบ้านถึงช่วยได้มาก สิ่งที่เราคิดว่าดูด้วยตาเปล่าได้ เช่น ผนัง พื้น ประตูหน้าต่าง จริง ๆ แล้วยังมี “งานระบบ” ที่ต้องใช้อุปกรณ์และความชำนาญ เช่น การวัดค่าระบบไฟฟ้า การทดสอบการรั่วซึม หรือการไล่เช็กจุดเสี่ยงบนหลังคา บางทีมองไม่เห็นแต่เจอในรายงาน defect แล้วค่อยรู้ว่าถ้าปล่อยไว้จะกลายเป็นค่าใช้จ่ายซ่อมหลักหมื่น–หลักแสนในอนาคต เช็กลิสต์สิ่งที่อยากให้มีในการตรวจ (ยึดตาม 4 หมวดหลัก) 1) ระบบไฟฟ้า: เช็กตู้เมน เบรกเกอร์ ขนาดสาย/การเข้าหัว ความเรียบร้อยของปลั๊กสวิตช์ การติดตั้งป้ายกำกับ (nameplate) และจุดที่ “ไม่ผ่าน” ตามมาตรฐาน 2) ระบบประปา/สุขาภิบาล: ทดลองเปิด-ปิดทุกจุด เช็กแรงดัน น้ำรั่วตามข้อต่อ ซิลิโคน ขอบกระจก/หน้าต่าง ห้องน้ำ อ่างล้างหน้า และจุดท่อระบายน้ำ รวมถึงบ่อพัก/บ่อดักไขมันถ้ามี 3) หลังคาและโครงสร้างหลังคา: จุดนี้เราแนะนำมากถ้าบริษัทมีอุปกรณ์หรือใช้โดรนดูมุมสูง จะเห็นกระเบื้อง ชายคา รอยต่อ และความเรียบร้อยที่เราขึ้นไปดูเองไม่ได้ 4) งานสถาปัตย์/ความสวยงามและการใช้งาน: ผนังไม่เรียบ สีด่าง รอยแตกร้าว ยาแนว พื้นโก่ง บานประตูหน้าต่างปิดไม่สนิท รวมถึงงานภายนอกอย่างรั้ว สนามหญ้า ทางระบายน้ำรอบบ้าน จ้างวิศวกรตรวจบ้าน ราคาเท่าไหร่ (แนวทางตั้งงบ) ราคามักขึ้นกับประเภทบ้าน (ทาวน์โฮม/บ้านเดี่ยว) ขนาดพื้นที่ใช้สอย และความละเอียดของแพ็กเกจ บางเจ้าคิดตามตารางเมตร บางเจ้าคิดเป็นเหมาจบ แนะนำให้ขอใบเสนอราคาอย่างน้อย 2–3 เจ้า แล้วเทียบ “ขอบเขตการตรวจ” และ “สิ่งที่จะได้หลังตรวจ” เช่น มีรายงานเต็ม + summary of defects ไหม ส่งภายในกี่วัน และมีบริการคุยกับโครงการตอนส่งมอบหรือไม่ วิธีเตรียมตัวก่อนวันตรวจให้คุ้มที่สุด - นัดวันตรวจให้ตรงกับวันตรวจรับ/ก่อนเซ็นรับมอบ เพื่อให้โครงการแก้ defect ได้ทันที - ขอให้บ้านเปิดระบบได้ครบ: น้ำ ไฟ ปั๊มน้ำ อินเทอร์เน็ต/กริ่ง (ถ้ามี) - ถ่ายรูปและจดจุดที่เราเคยสังเกตไว้ เพื่อให้วิศวกรช่วยโฟกัสเพิ่มเติม - หลังได้รายงาน ให้ทำตารางติดตาม: รายการ defect / กำหนดแก้ / วันที่ตรวจซ้ำ สรุปมุมมองส่วนตัว สำหรับเรา “จ้างตรวจบ้าน” คุ้มค่า เพราะได้เช็กลิสต์เป็นระบบ มีหลักฐานเป็นรายงาน และกล้าคุยกับโครงการแบบมีข้อมูล ไม่ต้องเดาสุ่มเอง โดยเฉพาะบ้านที่มีงานระบบเยอะหรือเราไม่มีประสบการณ์ แนะนำให้กันงบไว้ตั้งแต่แรก แล้วเลือกทีมที่อธิบายเข้าใจง่ายและให้รายงานละเอียดค่ะ
