Buying an apartment condo in Cochrane isn't the same as buying a detached home — but the inspection still matters. HomeWise Property Inspections evaluates the interior of your suite in detail and reports on visible common elements like balconies, entry doors, and parkade access. Apartment condo inspections are a flat $375 + GST, any size, any age. Townhomes are inspected and priced separately — see our townhouse inspection page.

Why this inspection matters
Cochrane condos still hide issues
Window seal failures, plumbing leaks, poor ventilation and aging in-suite systems are common — and rarely disclosed in the listing.
Pairs with your condo documents
Your lawyer reviews reserve fund studies and bylaws; we inspect the physical condition of your specific suite. Together, you get the full picture.
Newer buildings still need a walkthrough
Cochrane's newer complexes can carry construction defects into possession. An inspection before closing gives you a deficiency list while the builder is still accountable.
Same detail, scaled to your suite
You get the same thorough approach as a detached home inspection, scaled to your unit — a flat $375 + GST, regardless of size or age.

Buying a townhome in Cochrane?
Townhomes get their own inspection — the roof line above your unit, the shared party walls and the exterior are all part of the job, and the price is separate from the flat condo rate. See our townhouse inspection page.
