At Redbrick Inspections we are familiar with older homes. Many people make the mistake of comparing old homes with new homes which distorts the context. Homebuyers often shy away from old homes due to lack of understanding the nature of these historical structures and for fear of buying a potential money pit. The truth is that these homes have been standing for nearly a century or more and will continue to stand.
As Toronto residents we have an opportunity to preserve our illustrious history in many of the wonderful neighborhoods that make the city such a vibrant place to live. The majority of our inspections are in the downtown core, as such we will help you understand how to prioritize and manage your house repairs and provide a realistic perspective of owning an older home.
We will identify common Older Home conditions such as:
Knob and Tube wiring*
Lead water-main
Termite damage and more...
*Redbrick Inspections is affiliated with the TD Insurance Knob and Tube Wiring Policy. Through TD Insurance you can obtain Home Insurance for homes that have Knob and Tube wiring with only minor improvements. As a home owner this has the advantage of saving you thousands of dollars.
