Tips for Finding the Top Scarborough Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Services

Rushing costs you. Many buyers rush a pre-purchase house inspection or rely on a seller report and end up missing leaks, termite damage, or unconsented work, so make your offer subject to a full building inspections report from a licensed inspector who spends two to three hours checking roof space, subfloor, exterior cladding, drainage, plumbing, and electrical, and as a quick check run all taps for three minutes to see if any drains back up.

  • Make your offer conditional
  • Hire a licensed building inspector
  • Attend the house inspection
  • Ask for photos & moisture readings

You get clarity. You also get a correct, photo rich building inspections report that covers roof, structure, foundation, plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, moisture, and safety so you can price repairs, negotiate credits, or walk away without grief if needed, while skipping this step can leave you with unsafe wiring, leaks, or a failing roof that can wreck your budget or slow your loan and insurance.
