RESIDENTIAL HOME INSPECTIONS

 

Your home will be one of the most expensive investments most people will make. Once you have purchased your home it is too late to change your mind or ask for your money back. Even if you find something that was damaged after you last viewed your new home it can be a legal nightmare trying to get compensation. A professional home inspection can identify potential problems prior to purchasing your home.

 

A home inspection is a comprehensive visual inspection of your home. The purpose of which is to identify material defects on the exterior, the interior and major systems of the home. Major systems of your home would include; heating, plumbing, air conditioning, structural, electrical and the building envelope. There is no mandatory certification in effect for home inspectors. Many home inspectors are entering the market with little of no construction experience. CMHC recommends that you question any potential home inspector with the following:

 

How long have you been in business?

What are your qualifications?

Provide at least three references! One for every year they claim to be in business!

Verify all information prior to hiring.

 

Caveat Emptor - Buyer Beware.....Always ask questions!

Things To Consider When Getting A House

When you purchase a home, think about some things before you push through with it. One of the things to take into consideration is the area and neighborhood of the home you wish to buy. This is necessary because this affects the value of the house afterwards and what's more, you will be living there. Additionally, this could also affect your daily routine and your lifestyle.

Do A Neighborhood Check When Searching For A Home

When in need of a new house it's important to be careful not to become blindfolded exclusively on the acquisition of the property itself. The bricks and mortar are a very important feature of the process but the whole environment surrounding the house will play a big part in your enjoyment or otherwise of living there.
