Real Estate FAQ’s

Q: Does it matter if I come along for the home inspection? Can’t I get all the info I need from the inspector’s report?

A: A home inspection report is a valuable document that can help you understand what you’re buying. But there’s still a lot to be gained by attending the inspection in person. First of all, it’s important to remember that a home inspection is first and foremost a visual examination of a home’s systems. The inspection can identify issues with a home’s foundation, electrical, plumbing, roofing, heating

and air conditioning systems. But a home inspector can’t knock down walls to see what’s behind them, or do any other sort of invasive investigation.

Typically, they won’t move furniture or storage boxes in order to see or access part of the home.

When you come along for the inspection, the inspector can point out details as you move around the home and examine different aspects of the property. You can also ask follow-up questions about the issues they spot, to find out how serious they think it is, or what kind of repairs they think might be needed. It’s good to know which

Province to scrap Green Energy Act The Chatham Voice

The province’s Green Energy Act will soon be a thing of the past.

That’s the word from local MPP Monte McNaughton, Minister of Infrastructure, and Greg Rickford, Minister of Energy. They made a joint announcement of the introduction of legislation at Queen’s Park that would spike the act.

According to Ford government officials, the original Green Energy Act led to the feed-in-tariff program and skyrocketing electricity rates for

Ontario families, and took away powers from municipalities to stop the energy projects in their communities.

“Well-connected energy insiders made fortunes putting up windfarms and solar panels that gouge hydro consumers in order to generate electricity that Ontario doesn’t need,” McNaughton, MPP for Lambton-Kent-Middlesex, said in a media release.

The ministers announced that the government has introduced legislation that, if passed,

will strike the Green Energy Act from the province’s books. This will include repealing provisions that stripped away the power of local municipalities to block unwanted wind and solar farms.

“The Green Energy Act allowed the previous government to trample over the rights of families, businesses and municipalities across rural Ontario,” McNaughton said. “But we believe the people of Ontario should have the final say about what gets built in their communities.”

such as a surgical mask and infuser; a volunteer nametag and access card; a typical grocery bill for the week, and current event posters. The time capsule will be interned behind a brick in the Courtyard half wall with a plaque giving instructions to open in 100 years.

“We are also recogniz-

ing a milestone today,” said Jessica Smith executive director, Chatham-Kent Hospice. “We have recently cared for our 500th resident since opening in April 2016.

It’s been quite an honour to care for 500 families from our community and being a part of their life journey.”

Hospice reaches to the future The Chatham Voice

What will hospice care look like in 100 years?

We will never know, but the hospice in the future will have a good understanding of how Chatham-Kent Hospice operated in 2018 with the information being shared through a time capsule.

“We had the idea of sharing what a typical day is like at the hospice by including a number of items we use every day and a brief description of them,” Jodi Maroney, executive director, Chatham-Kent Hospice Foundation, said in a release. “It would be really interesting to be there when the time capsule is opened and see how hospice care changes over the years.”

Some of the items to be included in the time capsule include clinical items

Sponsored by repairs should be done immediately, and which ones can wait a few years.

You can expect similar information in the formal report, but when you’re present on-site you can get more context, which means you can better understand what it means for the property as a whole.

Typically, an inspection takes two to three hours, and when you’re considering a home you’ll be living in for years, it’s a valuable way to spend your time. The inspectors typically provide tips and suggestions about the home that dont’t make it into the report, because they are not critical issues.

Like preventative maintenance ideas for example.

Just as there’s info you’ll get from the in-person inspection that you might not get in the report, there are a lot of important details in the report that might not come up verbally as you’re doing your walkabout. Reading the report in full will further increase your understanding of the property, and it can serve as a useful reference for years afterwards.

If your offer to purchase the property was conditional on a satisfactory home inspection, after the inspection you will need to decide how to

proceed. The guidance of your broker or salesperson can be a major asset.

They can negotiate with the sellers to resolve any issues that the inspection uncovered. For minor issues, the seller may promise to make repairs before you move in. For more serious issues, they might agree to reduce the selling price to make up for the cost of repairs for example.

There’s no denying that a home inspection can be a valuable part of the buying process. By attending the inspection and reading the report thoroughly, you can ensure that you’re making the most of it.
