The Home Condition Report, Home Inspectors and the Home Information Pack

How long will the Home Condition Report inspection take

The inspection itself will take considerably longer than the current Mortgage Valuation Inspection required by lending institutions, and, whilst no specific time is set out in the standards for Home Inspectors, the HICB have stated that a typical 3 bedroom, 2 reception house of around 90 - 100 square metres should usually take around 75 minutes to 2 hours to inspect. In addition to this inspection, the Home Inspector will be required to undertake research about certain aspects of the property, but this can often be done away from the property, perhaps including a desk-based exercise.
