Deadline Newsroom - It's one thing to have a home inspected, it's another to have a fly on the wall during improvements.

A good building inspector can give the house a good once over, pinpoint problems, and recognize additions, alterations and other work, but only a fly could have the real buzz on any work's legal status.

That's the premise behind the new consumer version of BuildFax, a report for buyers or sellers that reveals which upgrades, improvements and other work was legally performed with a building permit. It also indicates work that may have been done without a permit and what work may be due, among other details.

"BuildFax is a compliment to a home inspection," says Joe Emison, BuildFax's Vice President of Research and development.
