It's often said that one of the most expensive and important purchases you will ever make will be your home. However, unlike the guarantee a buyer receives with most purchases, theirs no money-back guarantee or return policy if you're not satisfied with your recently purchased home. Once you buy a home, you're on your own to maintain it, repair it, anticipate problems and pay the bills. This is why it's best to know as much as you can about potential problems before you make the commitment to buy.
What Home and Property Inspectors Do
One of the best ways to understand about a homes condition, habitability and safety is to hire a professional home inspector. Our properly trained home inspectors will review your house as a system, looking at how one component of the house might affect the operability or lifespan of another. Our Home inspectors will go through the property and perform a comprehensive visual inspection to assess the condition of the house and all of it's systems. We will determine the components that are not performing properly as well as items that are beyond their useful life or are unsafe. We will also identify areas where repairs may be needed or where there may have been problems in the past. Inspections are intended to provide the client with a better understanding of property conditions, as observed at the time of the inspection.
A pre-purchase inspection for a 165 to 205 m2 (1,800 to 2,200 sq. ft.) home typically takes about three hours and costs around $350.00. Following the inspection, the buyer is presented with a written report, consolidating the details of the inspection. The home inspector is willing to answer any questions a buyer might have and to clarify the limitations of the inspection to avoid misunderstandings. "CMHC recommends that potential buyers accompany the inspector as the inspection takes place." It can be a valuable learning experience.
