Newer electric system, what year? New plumbing, what year? New a/c, what year. Answer the questions asked..not the ones not asked. |

Use the nachi 4 point form format!
Answer the questions ask. It is not a structural inspection! Before attempting to perform insurance inspections PLEASE search and read all threads on this board about 4 points. You are looking for dates last updated. Check online permitting for your county, if none, ask the owner for clues. Look at previous sales etc. |

Electrical -
1. it is not unusual to find Knob and Tube wiring in a home with an updated panel and wiring. Areas that are hard to reach ( or hot in summer ) often get over looked during rewire work. Attic, outside walls etc. 2. wiring may be newer but still old! If the home has 3 prong outlets check outlets for 2 wire no ground. 3 prong outlets with a boot leg ground is not unusual. It is an easy fix for owner - GFCI in each circuit etc. 3. Old fuse boxes with no cover being used as junction box or sub-panel. |

NEVER use the NACHI 4 point. It is a mini home inspection and most of the info is not needed. It is pure foolishness to use that form. Use a traditional 4 point inspection form as I suggested.
