Home Sellers Pre-Listing Inspections

Pre-listing inspections make your home easier and faster to sell! An inspection can prevent surprises from cropping up at closing time and provide prospective buyers with an atmosphere of good faith and confidence. By knowing about problems in advance, you can then decide if you wish to fix the problem or disclose it to the buyer.

We are a member of CAHPI(BC) and our reports meet their requirements. Our reports give you the information you need to make an informed decision. Sometimes the best surprise is no surprise!

"Home Sweet Home's pre-listing inspection was a valuable tool for my seller's giving more piece of mind for all parties involved in the stressful multiple offer situations that are so prevalent in today's market."

Mary Ellen Maasik, Sutton Westcoast

For condos and townhouses we:
    • Review of strata council minutes to identify possible problem areas and assess maintenance schedules
    • Inspection of all accessible common areas
    • Visual inspection of the common mechanical systems such as life safety systems
    • General overview of roof and building envelope
Many home buyers believe that it is the role of government regulatory authorities to ensure that new buildings are properly constructed and that older buildings meet current standards. This is simply not the case. Building codes are designed to ensure that buildings meet health and safety standards. Even in the rare jurisdiction where they are vigourously enforced, these regulations do not guarantee overall construction quality. Plumbing, wiring and roofing may not have been inspected thoroughly or at the right stage of construction. Design, workmanship, finishes, landscaping and driveways are all areas which are not covered by regulations, and are often the focus of complaints by new home owners. Any one of these, or a host of other elements, could cost you an arm and a leg.
