Buyers (Pre-Purchase) Inspection

Home inspections are a necessity for anyone looking to sell or purchase a home. Choosing someone qualified to perform home inspections will ensure that not only will the results of the home inspection be thorough, but that the risk of future complications – potentially costly – will be reduced as much as possible.

What Home Inspections Include:
Home inspections are the equivalent of a medical examination by a doctor, and cover the systems of a home from top to bottom. Included systems include central air conditioning systems, heating systems, plumbing systems, and electrical systems; physical components of a home inspection include an evaluation of the condition of the roof, foundation, walls, floors, ceilings, windows, doors, and other visible structures of the building. A home inspection typically takes 2- 3 hours but this can vary according to property size, age and condition. Qualified home inspectors will do a thorough evaluation of all the systems and structures of a home. Rather than appraising a home's value, or ensuring that the building meets municipal codes, home inspectors work to determine the condition of existing structures and help calculate the risk of any problems arising in the future.

When you've purchased a home without a home inspection

New Owner Inspection

Sometimes the real estate market is referred to as a “Seller’s Market,”. This occurs when there’s a scarcity of available listings, resulting in more potential buyers than there are houses to choose from. This often leads to increased property prices and a surge in multiple bid offers, providing sellers with the ability to reject conditional offers.

As a result, many buyers are choosing to forego the traditional home inspection condition to improve their chances of winning in a competitive bidding situation.

If you’ve purchased a home without a prior home inspection, there’s no need to worry. You can still arrange for a “New Owner Inspection” with Canadian Residential. This inspection serves to evaluate the current condition of your property and identify any areas of concern. It empowers you to make informed decisions about how to proceed. While some issues may be deferred to a future maintenance checklist, it’s crucial to address small problems promptly as they can quickly escalate into more significant, costly issues.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch with one of our professional inspectors today for more information or to schedule an inspection. Your home’s condition and your peace of mind are of paramount importance to us.
