Hi I earlier asked about roof ceiling installation.

Now I want to ask if one is interested in purchase sub-sale house, I heard that there are these contractor inspectors that charge a certain fee, to inspect the plumbling, electrical, plastering, roof, etc.

does anyone have the pricing?

As an owner why would I allow someone to climb up the roof, stepping on the roof tiles.

Who to bear if your inspector mis-step, fell and died in my premise ?

Last time I heard from my neighbor fight with their neighbor because when that other fella repair their roof, their contractor accidentally stepped into the neighbor house and broke the tiles then caused water leakage into the upstairs room

Yes, you read me well there.

For old house punya roof rafters, roof tiles, the flashings, gutter etc just don't go usik usik. You step on it, roof tile break, the cement mortar break (if any at the ridge), silicon (at flashing) just give way.

Asking for trouble

there's got to be a way to check after installation?

I guess I have to personally take a ladder up and inspect myself.

or ask them to take picture of the whole roof after installation.

hmm, if only I have a drone fly above to take video.

If you install new, your own unit, of course you need to check by all means.

This thread topic about potential buyer engaging 3rd party to inspect an existing subsale before buy (unit belonging to other), no?

yup

I also want to ask how to find these contractors and ensure they r legit?

don't want to get a scammer that gives u a fake report.

If you want a survey assessment report plus endorsement.

Google up pre-condition surveyor.
In Malaysia is RISM registered surveyor (property survey division). Layman called valuer, appraiser

Alternatively, go to any PE/Ar

If you go contractor and you want legit report w endorsment, still only a registered CP can do for you.

Non binding just a piece of paper listing, go to FB self claimed DLP inspector.
