Should I get a Home Inspection on My Brand New Condo?
The answer is a very simple one it is up to you. If the condo has just been built you are not only covered by the builder himself but also Tarion which is the Ontario New Home Warranty Program. However poor workmanship may go unnoticed should you forgo a home inspection.
Not to get into too much detail you can search Tarion .ca on the net.
They warrant your new home for a period of seven years exterior and one year interior. These of course are broken down into specific times and applications.
Now if your buying a condo 5 years plus then the answer is yes especially if you have independent heating and air conditioning. Also if there have been renovations done after the original owner moved in. It is imperative that plumbing as well as the electrical be checked by a licensed home inspector.
