CHECK YOUR ROOF (AND MORE)

A home inspection before moving in can save you money in more ways than one. Grové says few people know the condition of the roof of the house they’d like to buy.

“The number one reason insurers may be justified in not paying building claims is due to a lack of roof maintenance,” she says. Besides this, check gutters, walls and mould-prone areas.

“Such an inspection has a twofold cost-saving implication; one: you can get the seller to do any repairs at their own cost before the property is transferred (saving you thousands), and two: you save on any claims being put through an insurer, thereby reducing future premium increases or policy cancellations due to adverse loss,” she says.
