Services to Estate Agents and other interested parties:
Floor Plans
Floor plans using the latest CAD software packages can be produced for those properties that
APP Inspections & Energy Services have carried out the EPC assessment.
Produced within 48 hours of the inspection taking place, at competetive rates, these can be
incorporated into the sales particulars for that extra "edge" and as such are a worthwhile selling
tool for the right properties.
Hidden Defects Insurance-Domestic Residential Only
Hidden defects insurance is a relatively new product, which at this moment in time is only available in this form from the parent company behind the HIP provider that are working in conjunction with APPI.
Briefly, it comprises of an insurance policy taken out by the property seller. At the time of the Energy Assessment or Home Condition Report Inspection is carried out, the Home Inspector also carries out a further inspection on behalf of the insurance company. The benefits of that policy transfer to the buyer of the property when the house is sold. The new owner has the option to renew the policy for a further 6 years before another inspection is required.
In the event of a defect in the property becoming apparent in the period of the policy (including renewals), which was not evident at the time of the original inspection (ie it was previously hidden), the policyholder is likely to be able to claim rectification costs (to previously agreed limits) from the insurer.
This type of insurance cover is only able to be offered on completion of an inspection by a Registered Home Inspector or an Accredited Domestic Energy Assessor (with further training). This is a confirmation of the degree of confidence that certain key players in the industry have in Home Inspectors.
As the potential buyer would you be more inclined to consider a property if it came with insurance cover already in place?
As the seller do you think this is a useful selling tool that should help maximise the achievable selling price of your property?
It must be stressed that APP Inspections & Energy Services will not be selling the insurance policy, merely carrying out the required inspection on their behalf, for which APPI will receive appropriate remuneration.
All approaches or enquiries for Hidden Defects Insurance should initially be to APPI at or before the point of EPC inspection.
