Imagine this scenario. You hire a Home Inspector to inspect a house you’ve made an offer on. The inspector goes over everything with a fine tooth comb, outside-to-inside, basement-to-ceiling.
Great so far.
Then he presents you with his findings, points out areas that need repairs – and then offers to do this work himself because he’s also a contractor!
That’s called a “conflict of interest”. You cannot confirm whether the home inspection was done honestly, or with the aim of getting more work from you.
When hiring any professional, make sure that the advice or opinion you’ll be relying on is unbiased.
