Inspection Services
Pre-Purchase Inspection (for home buyers)
A pre-purchase inspection is intended to help prospective home buyers better understand the true state of the property they are interested in purchasing. The inspection will evaluate the overall condition of the property in order to identify housing systems that are adequate and those which may be in need of attention. The buyer can then use the home inspection report as leverage in re-negotiating with the seller to demand that certain repairs be performed. Nearly all sales contracts include such a clause stating that the purchase contract is contingent upon a satisfactory inspection. This provision is known as the "Inspection Contingency". If displeased with the condition of the property, the buyer has the right to back out of the contract entirely. A pre-purchase inspection provides piece of mind and helps home buyers make a more informed and educated decision about what may be the purchase of a lifetime.

Listing Inspection (for home sellers)
A Listing Inspection provides home-sellers with an accurate snapshot of the current condition of their property. The home seller can then utilize the findings to preemptively repair or upgrade household systems that may be deficient, and make the property more desirable to prospective buyers. The advantage of knowing the true condition of your property before it goes on the market will allow sellers to correct problems in advance and at a manageable pace, instead of being rushed into quick and potentially costlier last minute repairs and upgrades. The seller may also knowingly disclose and disclaim certain inherent conditions or defects in advance, and present the house in “as-is” condition.

Maintenance Inspection (for new home owners)
Maintenance inspections are available to clients who have previously commissioned us to inspect a property that they went on to purchase. For a reduced fee, we will return to that property at a pre-arranged future interval to re-inspect the entire building or certain housing systems which may be of concern or which may require monitoring
