Press Release, December 8, 1999
TREC considering changes to the inspection Standards of Practice.

The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) is the governing agency for home inspectors in Texas. Changes to the Inspection Standards are being discussed. The changes establish a precedent in the United States for inspecting a home to the latest code. That is, the inspector will be comparing a preexisting home to the latest code. There is no such thing as "grand fathered". This controversial proposal is sure to invoke a few arguments. Inspectors in the United States have always disclaimed code inspections. If the change passes it may result in an over developed product for the consumer in addition to a price increase. A summary of the changes can be seen at the TREC web site. If the changes are approved they could be implemented sometime in the year 2000. Stay tuned!
