Calgary Home Inspector
A home inspection is a limited, non-invasive examination of the condition of a home, often in connection with the sale of that home. Home inspections are usually conducted by a home inspector who has the training and certifications to perform such inspections. The inspector prepares and delivers to the client a written report of findings. In general, home inspectors recommend that potential purchasers join them during their onsite visits to provide context for the comments in their written reports. The client then uses the knowledge gained to make informed decisions about their pending real estate purchase. The home inspector describes the condition of the home at the time of inspection but does not guarantee future condition, efficiency, or life expectancy of systems or components.
Benefits of Home Inspection in Calgary
- Understand what they bought. Few people will ever make a bigger purchase than a home. To do so with eyes closed is, to put it mildly, less than diligent. Many buyers, especially first-timers, are anxious to get through the process and start enjoying their prize, and it’s easy to get blinded by the home’s beauty and its good points. The more buyers know, the better homeowners they’ll be.
- Assure a fair price. The home may not be worth the agreed-on price if there are major problems to be addressed. For example, if the roof will soon need to be replaced, that could mean tens of thousands out of somebody’s pocket. Assuming the purchase offer is conditional on inspection, the buyer can go to the seller and insist that the issue be addressed. They can agree that the buyer will replace the roof or reduce the sale price by what the work will cost. If they can’t agree, the buyer can walk away from the sale.
- Limit risk and safeguard the buyer’s financial situation. Once you buy the home, it’s yours. You can’t take it back for a refund. There could be several issues that lead to sickness. What if there are structural or mechanical issues? What if there’s mould or mildew? These are not inexpensive repairs. Where will the money come from? The only options may be to borrow large sums of money or compromise a retirement fund. Unexpected home repairs can wreak havoc on financial security. The cost of hiring a home inspector is small compared to the cost of chronic home problems.
- Protect against latent defects. If there’s been a home inspection, the buyer may have recourse even for a problem that is missed. One way this can happen is if the inspector fails to conduct a thorough and diligent inspection. For example, if they don’t visit an accessible attic and it’s later discovered to be contaminated, the buyer can take legal action against the inspector. Also, if the buyer subsequently finds hidden defects, they may be entitled to compensation. The seller is responsible for hidden defects that existed at the time of sale, even if they didn’t know about them.
