    Moving to Chicago

    Hello

    i am thinking about moving to Chicago and looking for a home these days. The question i have is how do i get the building inspection reports for the properties i see? A couple of houses that i am seeing the owners already have some reports but the question is can i trust those? Or should i get them done all over again? Also any specific services regarding Home inspection that i can use in Chicago Also what kind of reports do i need? I have lived on rent my entire life so a little new to all this and want to make sure that i do not end up wasting money on things that are not needed.

      You're already located in the USA and you're moving to Chicago. Maybe a State-side, or even better a Chicago realtor forum would be better suited to your needs.

        The only question I've got is whether to ban now or wait for the spam reply first

                    Getting inspection reports for any building is not very difficult as we all know how many inspectors are present today. However, if you are getting any report from any home owner, then it is up to you to trust them or not, but you always have the option of verifying those reports. You can do the inspection on your own through any agency or I can recommend you the third party inspection reporting service:

                    *link removed*

                    One of my acquaintances used this website once and he told me that this website is good for building reports or any other kind of inspection reporting.
                    Anyway, I don’t really have much idea about what kinds of inspections you should do, because I really done this kind of things. But I guess you should do fire and safety inspections at least. Good luck with your moving and hope you get a good and safe home and the above website is helpful.
