ting a Pre-Purchase Inspection is just smart. It reduces the risk of unexpected and costly surprises, and helps you feel completely comfortable with your home purchase decision.
A pre-purchase inspection report is a relatively small investment that will give the home buyer peace of mind in the knowledge that they have bought a home that has been thoroughly checked over by a qualified building professional.
Building Inspectors have a statutory responsibility to inspect the work of builders at critical stages of the construction of a building. They are trained to inspect and are your best choice when it comes to having the biggest single investment of your life inspected thoroughly for defects.
Most homeowners find a home inspector through their realtor. But this presents a conflict of interest if their commission is based on the final selling price of the home.
Hiring an unbiased, third-party inspector ensures that the home inspection does what it’s meant to do – protect you, the homeowner.
As a buyer, a home inspection:
- Alerts you of any deficiencies or safety issues
- Ranks and prioritizes any deficiencies a home may have
- Provides tips and recommendations for correcting deficiencies
- Additional articles relevant to information contained in the report for further education.
- Can assist in acquiring financing and insurance

- General safety and security/All rooms in the interior living space/Building envelope, framing, structure/Siding and soffits
