Home Inspectors in the Almaguin Highlands
A home inspection is one of the most important steps when you buy a home here. Many Almaguin properties have a well, a septic system, a woodstove or outbuildings, so it's worth having a professional look at everything before you commit.
How the inspection condition works
When we write an offer, we usually make it conditional on a home inspection. Conditional periods are usually one to two weeks. If the property has a septic system, the inspection condition can cover a septic inspection too, and if it has a well, a water test is a common condition as well.

Selling? Pre-listing inspections are optional
A pre-listing inspection is optional, and whether it makes sense is totally up to you and your home. For some sellers, an inspection before listing means no surprises after an offer comes in, more confident buyers and less room for renegotiation later. We'll talk it through with you when we plan your listing.
After the inspection
You'll get a written report. Read it closely, and let me or Tom know if anything in it worries you. We'll help you sort out what's normal for a home of its age and what needs a closer look.
