Benefits of Membership

The Devon & Cornwall Home Inspectors Association welcome the licence holder and those who are in training on a recognised accreditation route to qualification as a Home Inspector or a Domestic Energy Assessor.

Whatever your age, or experience, the text books and the exam room are unfriendly environments that must be tamed. The DCHI know and understand the pressures on students because each and every qualified member has been there, and from their personal and academic uncertainties comes a collective wealth of knowledge that can help the student to a trouble-free route to qualification. The student is not alone. There are members who are there to help.

The DCHI provide a route to market by connecting the service provider to the client and the best example of this is the online search facility to be found on the Home page.

The DCHI can corporately buy discounted services and equipment and those savings can be passed on to the members. Whether it is your professional indemnity insurance premiums, your damp meter or your Life Long Learning courses, the DCHI can find the best and save you time looking and money when you buy.

The DCHI are friendly and in local ‘HUBS’ you can build support links so that holiday and sickness relief can take away the uncertainty and stress of these events.

The DCHI can provide business start-up guidance and in-house training and even if members cannot solve your particular problem, they will know ‘a man who can’.

The DCHI speak with a united voice, both locally and nationally and work to protect your established business relationships from the larger corporate based panel providers who need you to meet their service commitments but want to take a chunk of your fees. The DCHI believes in local services for local people and are not fooled by the smooth talking strangers.

If you are professional and dedicated in your approach, qualified or training as a Home Inspector or Domestic Energy Assessor, and would like to join us we would be pleased to consider your application. To enquire about membership please complete an application form.
