SUMMARY

General Information: Overview A home inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of the accessible areas of the property,designed to identify areas of concern within specific systems or components defined by the City OfEdmonton Standards of Practice, that are both observed and deemed material by the inspector atthe exact date and time of inspection. Any and all recommendations for repair, replacement,evaluation, and maintenance issues found, should be evaluated by the appropriate tradescontractors within the clients inspection contingency window or prior to closing, which is contractapplicable, in order to obtain proper dollar amount estimates on the cost of said repairs and alsobecause these evaluations could uncover more potential issues than able to be noted from a purelyvisual inspection of the property. This inspection will not reveal every concern or issue that exists,but only those material defects that were observable on the day of the inspection. This inspection isintended to assist an evaluation of the overall condition of the dwelling only. This inspection is not aprediction of future conditions and conditions with the property are subject to change the momentwe leave the premises.
