Buying a condo or townhouse in Calgary isn't the same as buying a detached home — but the inspection still matters. HomeWise Property Inspections evaluates the interior of the unit in detail and reports on visible common elements like balconies, entry doors, hallways, and parkade access. Pair our report with the condo documents your lawyer reviews for a complete picture of what you're buying.

Why this inspection matters
Condos still have hidden issues
Window seal failures, plumbing leaks, poor ventilation and aging in-suite systems are common — and almost never disclosed in the listing.
Pairs with your condo docs
Your lawyer reviews reserve fund studies and bylaws; we inspect the physical condition of your specific unit. Together, you get the full picture.
Calgary high-rise expertise
We understand common Calgary condo issues — Poly-B plumbing, aging fan coils, balcony membrane wear and window condensation.
Same detail, smaller footprint
You get the same thorough approach as a detached home inspection, scaled to your unit — and priced accordingly.

Frequently asked questions
Do you inspect common areas?›
We document visible common elements (hallways, balconies, entry doors, parkade access). Major building components are governed by the condo corporation and reserve fund study.
How long does a condo inspection take?›
Most units take 1.5–2.5 hours depending on size and layout.
Should I get a condo inspection?›
Yes. Even new condos can have construction defects, and older units often have aging plumbing or HVAC components worth knowing about before closing.
