HOW WILL AN ISPECTION HELP ME?

  • It will inspect the physical condition of the home from the structure, construction to the mechanical systems
  • It will identify items that should be repaired or replaced and in what approximate time period
  • It will estimate the remaining useful life of major systems such as electrical, plumbing or heating, structure of the home and finishes

WHAT WILL THE INSPECTION NOT DO?

  • Offer you a guarantee on how long something may last or how much it will cost exactly to fix it
  • Give you a value on the property
  • Give you a recommendation on whether your purchase is a good price or a good buy
  • Make the house sell for your asking price
  • Ensure long term conditions of livability or health and safety

 

 

HIRE THE HOME & PROPERTY INSPECTOR BEFORE YOU COMPLETE YOUR PURCHASE

Buying a home is the most expensive purchase that most people will ever make. There are no guarantees. There are no money back policies. There are no satisfaction of purchase agreements. That is why you need to learn as much as you can about potential problems before you make a commitment on a property.


 

WHAT IS A HOME INSPECTION?

A home inspection is a non-invasive examination of the condition of a home.. This is carried out by a home inspector, who has special equipment and training to carry out such inspections. A home inspection report is then issued by the home inspector.


 

WHAT IS AN INSPECTION REPORT?

A home inspection report is a comprehensive analysis of the systems of your home including structural, mechanical and electrical. The completed report outlines issues and provides recommends that professional in that field be consulted, or offers recommendations on care and maintenance. It is a user manual for your home.


 

A TYPICAL HOME INSPECTION

Following is a list of some of the items that are commonly inspected:

Structural Elements
Exterior Evaluation
Roof and Attic
Plumbing
Systems and Components
Electrical
Appliances
Garage



 

WHAT IF PROBLEMS ARE FOUND?

Problems revealed do not have to mean that the house should not be purchased. All identifiable issues are fully described and a recommendation is made as to the probable cause and where to turn to fix it.. Sometimes, just knowing what issues there are is enough information to make a sound decision.

A home inspection is not to be used as a way out of a contract. If an issue is overwhelming, then it is probably best not to buy. In most cases many people are capable either financially or experienced enough to fix identified issues. Knowing in advance is what an inspection is all about.
