Is Getting a House Inspected Before Buying Important?

Is getting a house inspected before buying important in the 2019 house market in Vancouver, BC?

Yes! In a thriving market, some buyers rush to buy their desired house before house prices go up. They only believe in home inspection when the market is slow like in 2019. When they hire a professional home inspector, the buyer never loses money to fix component of the house like water pipe leakage and roof leakage.

There are some types of water pipes are costly for a buyer to fix. For example, polybutylene pipe is one type of pipe that people complain about water leakage specifically by the plastic fitting. If the plumber says the whole piping of the house needs to change, it is a terrible nightmare. Water leakage damages are also very expensive.

The other issue that may happen is roof water leakage. If the buyer purchases a house that has roof water leakage, it can cost tens of thousands for the buyer to fix the issue. In some extreme cases, demolishing the house is cheaper than fixing the issue. It is well worth it to hire a qualified home inspector to save your money and time.

In conclusion, if the buyer thinks that buying a house before prices go up is a good decision, they may lose money when they find some problems in the house. Hiring a home inspector can help greatly in the understanding the condition of the house.
