Should we be present during the inspection?
It is highly recommended to be present during the inspection to ask questions and to receive information from the inspector who will help to better understand the condition of the building and the maintenance of components of the building.
Can we negotiate the listing price after the inspection?
With a legal document (inspection report) providing the corrections to be made to a building, it offers an opportunity to negotiate with the vendor, who often himself ignored these defects.
Are there any risks in not having my future home inspected?
Without legal documentation (inspection report) showing the condition of the building at the time of purchase, it will be difficult to have recourse against the seller.
Does the inspector inspect hidden defects?
A hidden defect remains hidden, therefore not visible and out of the scope of an inspection. On the other hand, it happens that visible clues that are difficult to detect make it possible to believe in the presence of a hidden defect.
Are there pictures in your inspection reports?
Yes, each problem or defect suggested by the inspector is accompanied by pictures, descriptions, symbols and more. A personalized statement accompanies the pictures allowing the buyer to understand the impact of each recommendation.
