Bryan Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I have an inspection coming up for an estate property with two homes. Are there any recommendations regarding the report, one report broken into two sections, two seperate reports, one report combining both homes and grounds?

Bill Kibbel Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 A huge amount of my inspections are of multi-building properties. Many have a secondary residence. Other than a simple, detached garage, each separate building gets its own report. Some small outbuildings, without any mechanicals, might only be a few paragraphs. Sometimes a barn is converted to apartments and that report is longer than the one for the main residence. It's easier for me to prepare and easier for the buyers to understand if I do individual reports for each building. Our typists hate it though. Just when they think I'm finished, I start on the next building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonOfSwamp Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I did a fair number of multi-building properties: Richfolk houses with pool houses, cottages, etc. Also little developments with a half-dozen duplexes, etc. And some apartment buildings... Anyhow, I just wrote up separate reports. One for each dwelling. Some jobs -- like the one with the duplexes -- were pretty easy. The dwellings were almost identical. Maybe it's just me, but I think it makes sense to write up each property separately. I think anything else would create a massive unreadable jumble. There are enough of those being created already.

Les Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I am with Bill and Walter. It really does not take much more effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
