Do not know who this person would be ??? There are inspectors who are not qualified to undertake WETT inspections and home inspections. If this is the person I think it is the WETT requirement was never discussed until the morning of the inspection -on site.
The major remedial for this house is a Non-Compliance order on the fireplace
The cost to bring the fireplace into WETT Compliance would be 5 thousand dollars..
Qualified Home and Wett inspectors cannot ignore the other element. ie ignore the WETT requirement of an inspection.
Home buyers - apparently this person is not able to accept the issue of an inspectors responsibility. - if the buyer wanted only a home inspection with a wood burning appliance on the property it is the inspectors responsibility to inform the client of his position and the right to refuse an inspection contract.
The liability is always with the inspector not the home buyer ....
Promise to undertake future requirements if they are successful in their bid is irresponsible. In this case the condition required RED Tagging of the fireplace - this is a serious condition.
The process is required to protect all persons including the potential buyers. from legal reprisals .
If being adamant about my position is stubborn
I am doing my job the way it is required to be done.. and Infrared assessment was undertaken.
Inspection costs are chargeable - all of my clients do sign a contract and are aware of all costs and the opportunity to hire another inspector if they so chose.
Every day i am asked to salvage a house sale condition because of the home buyer not addressing their responsibility of due-diligence.
I do not make the rules - I just apply them...
