The dilemma of purchasing a new property! It is a common observation seen in the eyes of first-time property buyers. Some numerous preferences and doubts are deeply grounded in the hearts and minds of property buyers. And to address the same, the real estate market offers service providers like brokers and agents who help buyers shortlist and finalise what they are looking for. 
But what about the condition of the property? Can real estate agents guide you well? Are they qualified enough to assist you with accurate results? The answer to these doubtful questions is a big NO. Real estate agents can give a general overview depending on what they see. Still, you want to be fed with clarity and accurate information. In that case, you can get in touch with a certified property snagging company enriched with experienced and qualified professionals well-versed in property analysis.
A property snagging organisation, with the help of its experienced and professional property inspectors, perform a thorough inspection of the property and its surroundings and pen down the observations, healthy areas and problematic spots of the property in the form of a property inspection report. 
The first-timers, people generally go in for a 4-point inspection. But what is a 4-point review? Let's further explore understanding a 4-point property inspection and how it differs from a full house inspection. A 4-point property inspection refers to the examination of the property which revolves around four major systems i.e. 
  • Roof- considered the most comprehensive part of a 4-point inspection, involves checking on the age, a sign of deterioration, leakage, and shaping of the roofs. It is crucial since, apart from impacting the property's structure, it also affects energy efficiency and mould accumulation.   
  • The electrical aspect refers to the examination of the electrification, i.e., the house's wiring. Properties with aluminium, knob-and-tube and copper wiring are prone to increased fire hazard risks. A property inspector also checks whether all the electrical outlets are properly grounded or not.
  • Are the pipes in the property made up of polybutylene? The plumbing aspect of the 4-point inspection refers to checking on the pipelines to see whether they are running fine or have certain leaks and need fixtures. The qualified professional snagging inspector will critically evaluate the material and age of the drains and supply lines throughout the house. 
  • Coming to the last aspect- HVAC- refers to checking on the house's heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems and the pros and cons associated with it. 
While distinguishing a 4-point inspection from a complete property inspection, we can clearly state that a four-point assessment focuses only on systems- electrical, plumbing, roofing and the HVAC. Generally, a four-point property inspection is needed when a property you are proposing to buy or in which you are living has aged for 30 years or more. Whereas a complete property inspection, as the name suggests, is an examination of the ins and outs of the property and the components associated with it, for example- appliances, interior, exterior, drainage & grading, plumbing, roofing and electrical systems. 
To sum up, whether a four-point inspection or a comprehensive home inspection depends entirely on the choice and preference of the homeowner. Depending upon the life of the property, if it is a newly constructed property, the owner must go for the complete property inspection, but if you are thinking of moving into a property that is well-aged must go for a four-point inspection. 
Still, having a bubble of doubt? We are here to burst the bubble and take you through true evaluations. Connect with GTA Inspectors- a leading property snagging company in Dubai to break all the myths and get genuine advice on the property's condition and eventually make a more informed decision.
