Residential Home Inspection Form

1 of 2
 
You came to the right place.

 

I want to make this process as straightforward as possible for you. If you have any questions about home inspections—whether about the process, standards, or what’s included—please feel free to call or send me a message. You will find my contact information at the top of this page.
 
My focus is consistency, clear communication, and thorough reporting. I only inspect one house per day and do not cut services in favour of efficiency. Many clients tell me they value not only the inspection itself but also the detail in my written report and guidance in understanding next steps.
 
All my home inspection services and related information is here: www.rjmillerbp.ca/inspection/home.

Scheduling

Optional. Add due dates for receiving the report as well as purchase and sale closing.
Deadline to bring forward the issues to be addressed based on the home inspection report addendum.
Enter the closing date when ownership changes hands.
e.g. Indicate what days you may be available, or if you are waiting on financing approval and would like a date closer to your report due date.

Property Information (To Be Inspected)

The address of the building / property to be inspected.
The inspection and report are intended to inform the buyer about the property's condition, but the results cannot be used to request repairs, credits, or price changes from the seller.

This will clarify shifting expectations, where buyers may place greater importance on education, maintenance planning, and managing future costs rather than negotiating defects. By tracking how common this trend is, RJ Miller Building Professionals can provide stronger guidance on risk.
