Buying a house is stressful in Toronto and you usually don't get very many days to clear the condition of home inspection if you're lucky enough to get an offer accepted with such a condition. We made an appointment the day before we needed an inspection and Carson Dunlop was able to accomodate us. Our inspector gave us serious peace of mind about our purchase. We knew it was a fixer upper, but her knowledge was so in-depth we were able to ask a lot of dumb questions and she gave us very serious answers. We also received this excellent manual on how things work in the house and what kind of maintenance needs to be done, which is essential for first-time homeowners. The manual also gives average costs of particular improvements which is good for getting an idea how much things will cost down the road. Our inspector only spotted a venting issue in the upstairs bathroom, but after moving in we discovered that none of the plumbing in our house is vented so that is the only complaint. Seems to be the norm for a house that's over 100 years old and was last reno'd in the 80s. Overall, we're very happy with the service we got.
