Detailed property inspection reports - for information and your safety
January 27, 2016 Dear Jim Smith, RE: Report No. 1014 777 Emerald Coast Drive, 2101 Destin, FL 32541 Thanks very much for choosing Inspections by Randall LLC to perform your home inspection. The inspection itself and the attached report comply with the requirements of the Standards of Practice of our national Association. This document defines the scope of a home inspection. Clients sometimes assume that a home inspection will include many things that are beyond the scope. We encourage you to read the Standards of Practice so that you clearly understand what things are included in the home inspection and report. The report has been prepared for the exclusive use of our client. No use by third parties is intended. We will not be responsible to any parties for the contents of the report, other than the party named herein . The report is effectively a snapshot of the house, recording the conditions on a given date and time. Home inspectors cannot predict future behavior, and as such, we cannot be responsible for things that occur after the inspection. If conditions change, we are available to revisit the property and update our report. The report itself is copyrighted, and may not be used in whole or in part without our express written permission. Again, thanks very much for choosing us to perform your home inspection. Sincerely, Randall Rands on behalf of Inspections by Randall LLC

This Summary outlines potentially significant issues from a cost or safety standpoint. This section is provided as a courtesy and cannot be considered a substitute for reading the entire report. Please read the complete document. Priority Maintenance Items
Roofing General INTRODUCTION This property is a condominium unit. We inspected the unit itself. A condominium unit inspection does not include an evaluation of the common elements, which typically include the roof, insulation, exterior cladding, common doors and windows, common hallways and stairwells, lobbies, recreation facilities, storage areas, parking areas, landscaped areas, common central heating and cooling equipment, mechanical, main electrical and fire protection equipment, structural components, etc. These items are typically included in a building audit with the results included in a Reserve Fund Study. This document is available through the condominium corporation. A review of the Reserve Fund Study is important. Major expenses related to common elements should be identified here and condominium unit owners share the expenses related to maintaining, repairing and replacing these common elements. Some of the monthly maintenance fees typically go to a Reserve Fund. There is not always enough money in the Reserve Fund to pay for significant repairs or replacement of common elements. Individual unit owners may be expected to pay a Special Assessment to make up any shortfall. A review of the Reserve Fund Study is outside the scope of a home inspection.
