Pre-Purchase Home Inspection

After viewing several homes, they start to look the same.  You put in an offer but need to know what you bought, and more importantly that there aren't any unpleasant surprises.  Our professional Registered home inspectors can help you before you sign your waivers.

A visual inspection of the common systems and components of the home is performed to determine if there are any significant problems, items that need to be repaired or replaced and the possible costs. The main goal is to identify the current conditions of the property in order to provide the potential homebuyer with necessary information and unbiased third party opinions to make an informed purchase decision.

Pre-Offer Home Inspection

The housing market is moving fast, interest in the home is great, and before putting an offer house, you want to know the condition and expected costs for repairs and renovations to determine if the house suits your needs, physically and financially.  With this knowledge you better know what you can afford and what to offer.

You will have more confidence in what you are buying, whether or not to proceed with an offer, and how to prepare it. Most importantly, you can submit a “clean” offer without the inspection condition to make your offer more attractive to the home seller, especially under a multiple offer situation.  The buyer who performs a Pre-offer inspection removes the uncertainty factor from the purchase process because he/she knows the condition of the home before making an offer. A Pre-offer Inspection can be a win-win solution for both the buyer and the seller in a situation where the home seller does not accept or agree to a Home Inspection Condition in the agreement.

Pre-Listing Inspection

You are selling your home, but are unsure of its condition, and do not want anything to block the sale of your home at the last minute.  Our Registered home inspector can show you what repairs and improvements can be made to help the sale go smoothly.

This inspection allows you to have enough time to make any necessary repairs at a reasonable cost, and avoids the defects becoming negotiating or stumbling blocks later. If you do not plan to rectify any defects, explaining the situation and your position to the buyer in advance is positive assurance in the real estate transaction.

We can provide an analysis report for your use in the sale of your home.

Benefits to you as a seller include:

  • Gives confidence to potential buyers who may walk away from an offer if they think there is a problem with the home.
  • No negotiating for those items the inspector has raised an issue with.
  • Possible faster sale of your home.
  • Repair the deficiencies that could be used as a negotiating tool against you.
  • Known deficiencies can be reflected in the asking price.
  • Download and print as many copies of the report as you like as you need them.
  • The buyer may not insert a home inspection clause in their offer.

Condominium Inspection

The perception of its only a condo, what could go wrong, is very wrong.  They still have plumbing, electrical, heating, cooling, bathrooms, faucets, drains, showers, Jacuzzis, toilets, kitchens, sinks, dishwashers, stoves, fridges, washing machines, dryers, exhaust fans, windows, balconies, railings, lights, switches, outlets, etc.etc.etc.  Conditions need to be documented before taking possession.  Peace of mind is priceless.

Tarion / New Home Warranty Inspection

Buying that new home from a builder can be fantastic or trying.  A properly constructed home, and peace of mind is important to you, and your builder needs to know that.  A professional home inspection report lets the builder know that you are serious about your concerns.

New homes in Ontario are covered by the Tarion New Home Warranty Program against defects in workmanship and materials for the first year from the date of possession.  Tarion also provides warranty coverage for water penetration from the exterior and defects in heating, electrical and plumbing systems for a period of two years. New homes are covered against major structural problems for a period of seven years. In order to solve compliances properly, the homeowner has responsibility to notify both the builder and Tarion in writing before each part of warranty expires.

Home Condition Inspection

You have lived in and enjoyed your time in your home but are unsure about its' condition.  You would like to know what needs fixing, what items to budget for, and priority for repairs and replacements.

Commercial Inspection

Purchasing a store front or a large industrial unit requires due diligence be done.  This is usually expected of lending institutions and insurers.  Costs can escalate dramatically when dealing with older structures and large square footage.  You need your capital to run your business, and avoid potential problems that could affect your business.

A visual inspection of the common systems and components of the building is performed to determine if there are any significant problems, items that need to be repaired or replaced and the possible costs. The main goal is to identify the current conditions of the property in order to provide the potential buyer with necessary information and unbiased third party opinions to make an informed purchase decision and budget for maintenance.
