Who Should Come to a Home Inspection?

Who Should Come to a Home Inspection?

It is generally a good idea for the buyer to attend the home inspection. It is a great opportunity for the buyer to get a better understanding of the property and to identify any potential issues that may need to be addressed. In B.C., it's generally a buyer-beware scenario when buying a property. 

If the buyer is unable to attend the inspection, it is still important for them to have a representative present, such as a real estate agent or a trusted friend or family member. It is important for someone to be present at the inspection to ask questions and take notes on the condition of the home. 

It is also a good idea for the seller's agent to attend the inspection so that they can be aware of any issues that may need to be addressed before the sale is finalized. This can help provide clarity to the severity of potential repairs and to avoid any potential (subject removal) delays.

Overall, it is important for both parties to be represented at the home inspection to ensure that the condition of the home is fully understood and any issues are addressed as soon as possible.
