A professional inspection is one part of due diligence. It can identify visible conditions and systems that deserve further investigation, but it is not a guarantee that every defect will be found.

What an inspection can help assess

  • Roof/exterior condition where accessible
  • Heating/cooling and major systems
  • Electrical/plumbing observations
  • Moisture or visible damage indicators
  • Interior components and safety concerns within the inspection scope

Create an “Inspection Questions” checklist that visitors can save to their account and use during due diligence.

Practical checklist

  • Review the inspector’s scope before booking.
  • Attend when practical.
  • Ask which items are urgent versus maintenance.
  • Do not rely only on a seller’s renovation description.
  • For condos, remember the inspection of the unit does not replace strata-document review.
