This inspection provides the prospective buyer with the information to make and informed decision. We look at the main systems of the house and report on defects. We include information about how the house works and advise on regular maintenance requirements. If the client then goes on to purchase that property, we are available via e-mail or phone to answer any questions relating to that home.
Why get a pre-listing inspection? A pre-listing inspection can be important when a seller wants to prepare their home and ensure a smooth transaction. It will identify defects and maintenance issues that could be an obstacle or time consuming in the selling process. This enables the client to make any repairs or adjust their listing appropriately if they so wish.

Before the inspection we will send the client a copy of the contract, via e-mail (or hard copy pre-inspection), which includes a link to the OAHI standards of practice and a description of expectations of the inspection. If the client is happy with the contract it should be accepted and signed before the inspection commences. If there are any concerns or questions they should be addressed before signing.
The inspection will last 2-2 ½ hours for an average size house. We encourage the client to accompany us throughout. We are open to answer timely questions as we go through the different systems of the house. At the end of the inspection there will be a 10 to 15 minute summary and question time for the client.
Within 24 hrs after the physical inspection a full electronic report will be e-mailed to the client. We suggest it is downloaded as a PDF file and saved. A hard copy of the report can be obtained at an extra cost. Our on-going service is to answer questions and advise clients if they go ahead and purchase the property.
