Trusted Home Inspectors in Victoria, BC

We recommend that you be present at the site of the inspection from start to finish. However, our service is an excellent tool for buyers who are assessing a property from a distance and are unable to attend in person.

The very best qualifications and credentials consist of a background and extensive experience in construction and home maintenance coupled with education and training specific to home inspections. Additionally, a well-qualified inspector has passed the national competency exam as well as adhering to the HIABC Standard of Practice and Code of Ethics . Education is always an ongoing process and association in groups such as HIABC ensures that the inspector continues to take classes and is always on the cutting-edge of his business. A good inspector will take 20 credits of continuing education each year to ensure that he or she is always up to date.

Home inspectors are often referred by family or friends. Your real estate agent can also provide you with a list of inspectors. Look for one that is trained and certified by a national organization such as Canadian Association of Home Inspectors (CAHI) or National Institute of Building Inspectors (NIBI), and who has errors and omissions insurance. Do not hire someone who will do any suggested work due to the conflict of interest this poses.
