Some home buyers decide to save a few hundred dollars and not complete a professional home inspection. This decision can end up costing them thousands.
Home Inspectors in Durham Region charge in the range of $400 for the service. It takes approximately 3 hours to complete the inspection.
Professional home inspectors have had months of training to detect deficiencies in a structure. Every component of the home is checked.
Even a small repair can run into thousands of dollars. Here is an example of some costs.
-
A leak in the basement - Starting from $5,000
-
A new furnace - Approximately $3,000
-
A new roof - From $3,000 but depends on the size of building
-
An electrical problem - Can range from a few hundred to thousands of dollars.
When submitting an offer to purchase a new home, always make it conditional on obtaining a satisfactory home inspection. Peace of mind has a price.
