Independent Forum for Trainee and Qualified
Home Inspectors & Domestic Energy Assessors

Subscribe To The Home Inspector Forum

The Home Inspector Forum was established in 2005 as an independent community of trainee Home Inspectors studying towards the Diploma in Home Inspection (DipHI). Despite the changes to the industry we have maintained our independence and are not owned, operated or influenced by any panels, training providers or organisations within the HIP industry.

Our member base has now expanded to cover Domestic Energy Assessors, On Construction DEAs, Commercial Energy Assessors and other related Property Professionals. HIF now offers an open platform for members to discuss and debate all matters relating to:
 

  ●   Domestic Energy Assessment
  ●   Home Inspection
  ●   Commercial Energy Assessment
  ●   Home Information Packs
  ●   Related surveys and services including renewable energy/ building surveys/ asbestos etc.
 

From the very beginning we have always remained an independent resource funded by our members subscriptions and online advertising. As the largest online community of HI/DEA/CEA with over 13,500 registered members we have a diverse and pro active community of property professionals.
