Don't Do An Inspection on Your Vancouver Condo Until...
Ian Watt video blogs about how you should always do an inspection when you are buying a Vancouver condo but don't do the inspection until you have read all the strata documents as the minutes will certainly give you an idea if this building has major issues or not.

Ian Watt: Hi good afternoon it's Ian Watt in Downtown
Vancouver. Now I'm gonna say this for a liability reasons only. You
should always have an inspection if your buying a Vancouver condo. Of
course you should always have an inspection but you shouldn't do your
inspection on the first day after getting an accepted offer. What you
should do is do your diligence first, say you have one week to remove
your subjects. What you should do is read all the minutes for the first 3
days make sure there no issues, make sure it's a proactive strata, make
sure they addressing any problems before you waste for five hundred
dollars on an inspector. Because you know what the inspectors gonna find
out the dishwasher's broken you can bought a new one for five hundred
dollars and if the minutes are littered with problems that are not being
address your not gonna buy it anyways. So save your money do the
inspection if you can do one on the last day or second the last day
before subject removal. You will definitely know what kind of building
your gonna buy into just for a minutes alone. My name is Ian Watt and if
you have any questions. You can always email me at ianwatt@ianwatt.ca. Thank you very much and have a great day!
