When touring a Mississauga home, enjoy the finishes but leave room for questions about condition. Notice visible staining, unusual odours or cracks and ask about their history. These observations are not proof of a defect; they are reasons to investigate. Ask for available information on the roof, heating, cooling and previous repairs. A system's age alone does not establish its condition. A showing is not a professional inspection, and an inspection has its own scope and limitations. Discuss an appropriate inspection condition and any further specialist checks with your professionals before making commitments. The goal is to understand the home, the possible work and your comfort with the purchase.
