Re: Home Energy Tune-uP - Inspections
If the "energy audit" inspection is being performed for someone other than a buyer or seller (someone who already owns the property and is not having the inspection performed in anticipation of selling), then it would not be within TREC's jurisdiction, and the standard form would not be required. Otherwise, and assuming the energy audit involves reporting on property conditions, then it would be within TREC's jurisdiction, and all of the usual statutes and agency rules apply.
We hope this information is helpful to you.

Benny, let me take a stab at it. The red and bold above are mine.
TREC says unless the energy audit is done as part of a real estate transaction they don't have authority to regulate it.
Otherwise it is just an extension of the standard inspection and you have to follow their (TREC) rules.
Does that help? |
