Code of Ethics
Code of Ethics of the Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors (British Columbia)
Effective January 1, 2001
Honesty, justice, and courtesy form a moral philosophy which, associated with mutual interest among people, constitutes the foundation of ethics. The members should recognise such a standard, not in passive observance, but as a set of dynamic principles guiding their conduct. It is their duty to practice the profession according to this code of ethics.
As the keystone of professional conduct is integrity, the Members will discharge their duties with fidelity to the public, their clients, and with fairness and impartiality to all. They should uphold the honour and dignity of their profession and avoid association with any enterprise of questionable character, or apparent conflict of interest.
- The member will express an opinion only when it is based on practical experience and honest conviction.
- The member will always act in good faith toward each client.
- The member will not disclose any information concerning the results of the inspection without the approval of the clients or their representatives.
- The member will not accept compensation, financial or otherwise, from more than one interested party for the same service without the consent of all interested parties.
- The member will not accept nor offer commissions or allowances, directly or indirectly, from other parties dealing with their client in connection with work for which the member is responsible.
- The member will promptly disclose to his or her client any interest in a business that may affect the client. The member will not allow an interest in any business to affect the quality of the results of their inspection work, which they may be called upon to perform. The inspection work may not be used as a vehicle by the inspector to deliberately obtain work in another field.
- An inspector shall make every effort to uphold, maintain, and improve the professional integrity, reputation, and practice of the home inspection profession. He or she will report all such relevant information, including violations of this Code by other members, to the Association for possible remedial action.

 The prelisting inspection that Home Sweet Home Inspections provided for my Seller was very helpful in securing a fast sale for both parties. The report was very thorough and provided the buyer with a clear picture of the homes condition along with recommendations for future repairs. It was written in an neutral, professional and knowledgeable manner. Both Seller and Buyer were very satisfied with the ease of the transaction because the condition of the home was presented up front, eliminating the stressful renegotiation process that sometimes comes up after an inspection. Thanks Chris.

Thank you for this report, it's absolutely fantastic. Much more thorough than I thought it would be. The recommendations you've made are great and if I'm the lucky new owner, they will be implemented! I'm putting the offer in this afternoon, so we all have our fingers crossed. Thanks once again for coming on such short notice, I really appreciated it.

You were very thorough - I've purchased many homes over the years and your information was the best of the bunch.

We liked the details and full coverage of the report, and also the speed at receiving the full written report.
