Inspection Prices – Buying a home is exciting, but it can also be stressful and time-consuming. The worst thing that can happen after you’ve signed your closing papers is an unexpected major expense due to problems in the home that you weren’t made aware of during the buying process. That’s why a home inspection is so important and why most realtors advise home buyers to hire a home inspector when they are looking to buy a home. Some buyers opt to save a few dollars by skipping this step. While an inspector is an additional expense, hiring one can help you avoid costly repairs and downright bad deals, saving you time and money in the long run.
A lot of contractors will pick up a fixer-upper in the fall and spend the winter fixing up unit for a quick flip. It is also nicer to work inside during winter months. Some contractors will just do the bare minimum to make the home
more appealing and ensure they can make a profit. I like to call these renovations, ” Lipstick on a Pig”. As a home inspector I sometimes wish I could see through walls and determine whether work was completed in accordance with minimum Building Code requirements, but I am limited to what I can see. I do note whenever I see work that does not meet Ontario Building Code, Canadian Electrical Code or Plumbing Code requirements, because that indicates work was done in the house without a Building Permit of the proper inspections.
When lack of inspections are identified the onus is on the Purchaser if they are willing to invest in a property that was never properly inspected after renovations were completed. Personally I always assume if work that is visible was incorrectly done, most likely any work behind walls etc. was also improperly done.
Remember when Buying a Home, CAVEAT EMPTOR – BUYER BEWARE! After a property changes hands and problems unfold in your new home, everyone will just tell you to contact your Home Inspector. So basically, the person you pay the least amount of money when purchasing a home, is the only person you can go to when you have a problem. So basing your Home Inspector choice based on a few saved dollars is definitely not a good idea.
