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

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.
