A pre-purchase inspection protects you before you sign. Buying a property is often the biggest financial decision of your life. A thorough inspection gives you an honest picture of the building’s condition, so you can buy with full confidence or negotiate based on facts.
What the inspection covers
We examine the visible and accessible components of the building, including:
- Structure, foundations and basement
- Roof, flashings and surface drainage
- Exterior envelope (cladding, windows, doors)
- Plumbing and hot water production
- Electrical system
- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning
- Insulation and attic ventilation
- Interior (floors, walls, ceilings, stairs)

What the inspection does not cover
A visual inspection is not a hidden-defect search or a specialized expertise. It does not cover, for example, air quality, pyrite, vermiculite or iron ochre. We tell you transparently when a specialized assessment is recommended.
