Home Inspector

The Diploma in Home Inspection is the only qualification that is acceptable to undertake the Home Condition Report which was originally intended to be a mandatory part of the Home Information Pack.  However, in July 2006 the Government announced that the Home Condition Report would be optional.  This was done primarily for fear that the industry was not ready or geared up to cope with the demand for this new vocational career.  Many who currently embark on the qualification do so from a career development point of view, others to concentrate mainly on energy reports backed up by greater knowledge and some who firmly believe that one day the Home Condition Report will become a mandatory requirement.

The course leading to the qualification for the Diploma in Home Inspector gives you a wealth of options:

• In depth knowledge of residential buildings with excellent focus on defects
• Holders of the HI Diploma will be qualified to carry out both Home Condition Reports (this remains an authorised document with the Home Information Pack) and also the mandatory Energy Inspection Reports
• Holders of the HI Diploma will be able to do a top up module in Valuation and this would provide you entry to RICS as a TechRICS member and become eligible to carry out valuations. For more information on the Valuation module, click here.

The Diploma is based on approved National Occupational Standards (click here to download)
