A pre-purchase inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of a property’s condition by a qualified professional inspector. The inspection assesses everything from the foundation to the roof, electrical and plumbing systems, and more. Getting a pre-purchase inspection protects you from surprises down the line. With a building inspection report in hand, you can negotiate repairs with the seller or walk away if the property has serious defects. It’s an invaluable investment to ensure the home you’re buying does not have any expensive surprises down the line
