I agree, you're right. Grace

While nobody in England would refer to a "Judicial Officer", one does refer to an "Officer of the Court". Problem: there are no officers of the court in England and Wales that perform this particular function, which is the preserve of inventory and check-in clerks working for private firms. A surveyor could be used, but has a very much higher level of technical training (and would charge a lot more).

In view of Ms. Tradugrace's comments, I found "http://www.uihj.com/index.php?lg=ang) in which the Union Internationale des Huissiers de Justice et Officiers Judiciaires is translated into English as The International Unione of Judicial Officers. However I do not envisage anyone in England saying that "I need to call a Judicial Officer to control the maintainance status of the property I am going to lease"

Given your comment to philgoddard, it seems as though you need to make the client aware of the fact that there is no US equivalent and check what level of inspection they want. An inspection carried out by a building surveyor or a building inspector would involve professional judgements on construction quality and defects and the building's general soundness. An inspection carried out by an inventory clerk would simply be a description of what a more or less unskilled person is able to see, but it does carry weight in court as being an impartial report. So, a building inspector or surveyor could note the presence of rising damp (i.e. observation and diagnosis), whereas an inventory clerk could only note e.g. staining and mould on the wall. I have worked with all the above and have an extremely low opinion of the skills of inventory clerks. E.g. not knowing the difference between chrome and steel fittings, describing powder-coated aluminium patio doors as "plastic" and atrocious spelling and grammar.

J'aurais du dire que un huissier est un fonctionnaire de l'État français che n'esiste pas en anglais. (Au mois en ce que concerne l'immobilier! ) Pour nous, un huissier est un uniquement un fonctionnaire de la cour ou des tribunaux.

Un huissier qui dresse un constat est une fonction officielle en France.
Mais la fonction "d'huissier immobilier" n'existe pas !

15:36 Dec 27, 2014 

C'est un officiel !!!

Je comprends parfaitement ce qu'un huissier fait, le problème est qu'est-ce nous appellons un huissier immobilier en anglais! Ce est un officiel français pour lequel (peut-être) nous ne avons pas l'équivalent en anglais.

Dans votre complément d'informations, il est conseillé de faire appel à un huissier qui aura pour mission de constater l'état de l'immeuble.
L'huissier va donc "dresser un constat".

13:31 Dec 27, 2014 

The exact sentence is as follows "Pour palier à ce problème, il existe une solution simple : vous pouvez faire appel à un huissier dés la remise des clés pour lui faire constater l’état actuel de l’immeuble "

is very complex. As 1045 points out, it is often translated as bailiff, but a huissier has many functions, and a straight translation here is in my opinion, not really possible. Below is a link showing various functions of the huissier, including those related to real estate.

In Canada, we have building inspectors also.
We also have bailiffs and process servers.
