Selecting a Building Inspector
As the Ottawa real estate market has moved to a more normal market, purchasers have more time to view properties and potentially go back for a second showing on properties that they are interested in. In addition, conditions in a offer that include a building inspection are now again becoming the norm for Purchasers.
