BEFORE YOUR PROPERTY PURCHASE
Look Beyond the Interior and Your First Impression.
A property viewing lets you discover the rooms, natural light and potential of a property. A pre-purchase inspection serves a different purpose: examining the building’s visible and accessible components to better understand its condition before you make your decision.
Signs of moisture, a visible crack or an ageing component may raise questions. The inspector describes their observations and explains areas that may require maintenance or a specialist’s opinion.
At INSPEXION, our role is to provide clear, understandable information. You can then consider this information alongside the other aspects of your project: your budget, planned work, available documents and advice from the professionals supporting you.

YOUR FUTURE PROPERTY
Pre-Purchase Inspections for Houses, Condos and Residential Buildings.
The property type influences how we prepare for the visit and which components we examine.
Buying a House
A house has interior and exterior components that need to be considered together. Send us any available information about the building, renovations and accessible areas.
Buying a Condo
The scope of the inspection of private areas is clarified before the appointment. Examination of common areas depends on the agreed scope and access permissions; it should not be assumed to be included.
Buying a Residential Building
For a duplex, triplex or another residential building, access to the units and common areas must be arranged. We define the inspection arrangements according to the building’s layout.

YOUR QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions About Pre-Purchase Inspections.
When should I book a pre-purchase inspection?
Contact us as soon as you know the property and your deadlines. The visit and delivery of the agreed document must be arranged around your transaction timeline.
How much does a pre-purchase inspection in Montréal cost?
The price varies depending on the building type, its layout, location and the scope of work. Tell us about the property to receive a tailored quote.
Can I attend the inspection?
Discuss your attendance when booking. Arrangements are clarified based on access, safety conditions and how the visit is organized.
How long does a pre-purchase inspection take?
The duration depends on factors such as the size, property type, visible condition and available access. An estimated duration can be discussed when preparing for the appointment.
Does a pre-purchase inspection detect every defect?
No. A visual inspection covers components that are accessible under the conditions of the visit. It cannot examine all hidden components or guarantee that the property is free of defects. A specialized investigation may be recommended.
Should I have a condo inspected before buying it?
An inspection can help you understand the visible condition of the unit’s components covered by the agreed scope. Condominium documents and questions about common areas also require attention tailored to your project.
