The property which interests you seems maybe perfect at first sight, but it is important to verify in which state it is really. Now the inspector comes on stage. In Quebec, no regulations supervise this practice, what makes that whoever, from the architect by training to the “self-taught”, can act himself as inspector. Some will maybe agree to make the work of inspection for approximately 200 $, but for a really complete inspection, be not surprised having to pay up to 500 $.
