I am a licensed home inspector. After an inspection, included in my packet that includes the report, there are almost 100 pages of "tips and tricks". I've had people call me back years later thanking me for saving them tens of thousands of dollars on mitigation and/or repairs. I'll even offer free advice if they email me. Most home inspections in the US are $400-600. Mine START at $1100 and go up. For that you get a detailed report of every room. What outlets are on what breaker number, "grab" strength of the outlets, CFM from EACH air vent, etc. It's a little comprehensive, and I regularly turn down work as I'm too busy. Don't cheap-out on a THOROUGH home inspection! It's the most expensive purchase you'll likely make! And don't believe a brand-new house, or even one you had built, doesn't need a comprehensive inspection!
"Probably the biggest one I see a lot (insurance agent) is people not trimming trees over their roof. Usually the company has something to say about it, and it’s not just because you want to avoid having a giant limb fall onto your roof during a storm, but also because the falling leaves/pine needles will make short work of your roof by encouraging moss, rot, whatever else to propagate.
I’ve told clients if they won’t trim the trees, they’ll want to get up there once or twice a year with a roof rake/broom, so it’s easier to just take down the limbs and be safe"
