You have forty minutes in a house you might spend a decade in. What do you look at, and in what order, so you do not walk out realising you never opened a window? The Home Inspection Checklist gives you the list, grouped by room or by system, with space to write what you find while you are standing there.
Describe the property type and age. It builds a checklist you can print or read from your phone.
Short answer: The Home Inspection Checklist is a free AI tool on EizTools that builds a property inspection checklist covering structure, roof, damp, electrics, plumbing, heating and each room, ordered and grouped the way you prefer.
What is Home Inspection Checklist?
It is a checklist builder for property viewings and pre purchase inspections. There are generic checklists everywhere, and they are all written for a different house than the one you are looking at. The Home Inspection Checklist takes the property type, age and construction you describe and builds around them, so a 1930s terrace gets different items from a new build apartment. It supports your own inspection. It does not replace a qualified surveyor.
How Does Home Inspection Checklist Work?
Describe the property in the prompt box, pick a model from the selector, then open the advanced options accordion.
| Option | What it controls | Suggested start |
|---|---|---|
| Depth | How many items the checklist carries | Detailed, which covers the systems without becoming unusable |
| Grouping | How items are clustered | By Category for systems, By Phase when inspecting over several visits |
| Order | The sequence items appear in | Chronological, so the list follows a natural walk through the house |
| Format | What each line includes | With Explanations, since knowing what to look for beats a bare list |
Include Notes Column is essential for a checklist you will actually write on. Include Priority Icons marks the items that matter most when time is short. Include Time Estimates helps you plan a viewing slot, and Include Owners is useful when a partner or builder is inspecting alongside you. Push the Coverage slider up for a purchase you are serious about, and use Custom Instructions to name the property age, the construction type and anything the agent has already disclosed.
What People Forget To Check
- ✅ Water pressure, by running a tap and the shower at once
- ✅ Every window and door, opened and closed properly
- ✅ The loft, even briefly, with a torch
- ✅ Signs of damp behind furniture and in built in cupboards
- ✅ The fuse board age and whether it looks recently updated
- ✅ Mobile signal and where the meters actually are
Important A checklist supports your own look around. It is not a survey. Structural, damp, electrical and gas issues need a qualified inspector, and problems inside walls or under floors will not appear on any list you carry.
Using It On The Day
Take it on your phone
Copy the list into notes so you can type findings as you walk.
Photograph anything unclear
A photo of the fuse board answers questions you will have later.
Bring it to the second viewing
Second visits are for the items you rushed the first time.
EizTools is a free AI platform where each tool does one job and carries the advanced options that job needs. No account is required, nothing is metered, and the model is chosen from a selector before each generation. Once your findings turn into a list of things to chase, the Task Assistant is useful for turning them into ordered actions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this replace a professional survey?
No. It helps you look carefully and ask better questions. A surveyor tests what you cannot see, carries insurance and produces a report a lender will accept. Use both, not one instead of the other.
Can I get a checklist for a specific property type?
Yes, and you should. Describe the age, construction and type in the prompt. A period house, a new build and a converted flat each have completely different things worth checking.
How long does a proper viewing take?
Longer than agents allow by default. Ask for one with Time Estimates included and request a slot that matches it. Rushing the second viewing is where most missed problems originate.
Can landlords use it for inventories?
Yes. Set Grouping to By Category and Include Notes Column, then describe it as a condition record. It works for check in and check out inspections as well as purchases.
Nobody makes a good decision about a house from memory two days later. Writing things down as you walk is what separates a viewing from a browse. Describe the property, print the list, and let the Home Inspection Checklist keep you honest while you are standing in the hallway.
