Other Inspection Services

Pre-Purchase Inspection

Buying a home is a major investment, and it’s important to understand exactly what you’re stepping into. A pre-purchase inspection highlights the key factors that could impact your decision, including existing concerns, potential issues, and safety risks. We also help prioritize areas that may need attention or further evaluation, giving you a clear picture of the property’s overall condition.

Rather than assigning a “pass” or “fail,” we focus on providing clear, unbiased information. Every issue can be addressed—it simply comes down to your timeline, budget, and goals. Our role is to deliver honest, straightforward insights so you can make a confident, informed decision that’s right for you.

Pre-Listing Inspection

A pre-listing inspection helps uncover existing or potential issues before your home, townhouse, or condo hits the market. It’s particularly valuable for owners who don’t live in the property, such as landlords or trustees. We provide a detailed report outlining the home’s condition, highlighting areas that may need attention, and offering insight into potential repair costs.

With this information, you can choose to address issues in advance or factor them into your asking price—helping you avoid surprises and renegotiations later. A pre-listing inspection can also make your property more attractive to buyers, leading to a quicker sale and stronger offers.

New Construction Inspection

Since July 1999, new homes and condos built with permits in British Columbia must be constructed by licensed builders and include third-party home warranty insurance under the Homeowner Protection Act. While this offers a level of protection, it doesn’t always guarantee quality. In reality, construction deficiencies can still occur—especially with inexperienced trades—leaving buyers facing unexpected issues.

A professional inspection provides an added layer of protection. We identify defects, incomplete work, and potential code concerns that are often missed during a standard pre-occupancy walk-through. Using a detailed checklist, we compile a clear report outlining any deficiencies for the builder to address.

Keep in mind that some builders may restrict third-party inspectors during walk-throughs. It’s a good idea to confirm their policy ahead of time and consider including a clause in your purchase agreement that allows your inspector to attend.

2-5-10 Year Warranty Inspection

Introduced in July 1999, mandatory third-party home warranty insurance—often called 2-5-10 coverage—was designed to protect new homeowners from defects and help improve construction quality. Coverage details, including start dates, limits, and exclusions for single- and multi-family homes, are governed by the Homeowner Protection Act. Protection decreases over time at the 1-, 2-, 5-, and 10-year marks, so it’s important for homeowners to report any issues before each warranty period expires and schedule inspections well in advance of those deadlines.

Owner-built homes are not required to carry warranty insurance, but sellers must provide a disclosure stating the absence of 2-5-10 coverage. Even so, owner builders are legally responsible for meeting minimum construction standards for future buyers. A professional inspection helps identify and document deficiencies, supporting timely repairs during the warranty period or in the event of a dispute. Our knowledge of building performance and aging helps ensure you have the information needed to protect your investment.
