Whether you're buying or selling a property, a professional inspection provides peace of mind as you make purchasing decisions. The State of Florida does not have any inspector certification (licensing), and will not until 2010.  So don't be fooled by claims of someone being a licensed home inspector. However, do look for an ASHI Certified Inspector. ASHI is "The American Society of Home Inspectors". The only way to be certain of getting an experienced professional is by hiring an ASHI certified inspector.

According to a recent study by the American Society of Home Inspectors and the National Association of Realtors, 8 out of 10 homebuyers order a home inspection as part of contract negotiations. They understand that having as much information as possible can reduce initial moving stress and provide direction on future maintenance plans.

NPI offers a full menu of inspection services to both residential and commercial clients. Our most popular inspections include existing residential (new & old) and commercial buildings, multi-units, condos, manufactured homes, pre-listing inspections and 11th month inspections where new home warranties are about to expire. Thermal Imaging is available on any inspection or as a separate ispection. See panel to right of here.

Inspection savings
NPI inspections are unbiased. Even if you are familiar with the systems in a home and perform a thorough walk-through of your new property, it can be easy to see things through “rose-colored glasses.” After all, this may be the single largest investment of your life. An objective property inspection report not only saves you time, it gives you a clear, concise checklist of information regarding your home or commercial property and an understanding of the current condition of all major systems. This is true on both existing and new housing stock.

For some, it’s easier to understand that an older home will be in need of some maintenance and repairs. After all, you are purchasing a “used” piece of property. A new home can be just as demanding and expensive. According to a National Association of Home Builder’s study on new home buyer callbacks released in March 2006, home builders receive an average of three callbacks on each new home they build and spend an average of $476 on repairs. The top five problems include, paint, wall board, plumbing, doors and windows. Having a home inspection completed prior to closing on a new home, means you move in after problems are fixed so you can enjoy your new purchase.
