Information on the Virginia New Home (NRS) Licensed Inspector Law
For our Virginia Realtors, I wanted to give an update on the licensing for New Home Inspections (called New Residential Structures - NRS). The definition of an NRS is: a new construction home prior to first transfer of deed from the builder to the purchaser.
Effective July 1, 2017 all Home Inspections in Virginia can only be performed by home inspectors licensed by the state (DPOR licensing board). Any inspector who was previously a Virginia Certified inspector was automatically rolled into the pool of licensed Home Inspectors. All other prior or new Home Inspectors were required to apply to DPOR and be approved. Separate licensing is required to qualify for the ability to legally provide New Home (NRS) inspections. As of January 2018 there were 198 (138 as of July 31, 2017) home inspectors approved and licensed to perform NRS (new home) inspections across the state of Virginia.
More details on the NRS licensing can be found from my blog here.
