A Buyer's Choice Home Inspections Edmonton SE with Sheldon Sansom

Concerned about radon levels in your home? A radon test is an inexpensive and simple way to bring you peace of mind for both an existing home and a prospective purchase. An invisible and odourless radioactive gas that’s released from the ground thanks to radium (which comes from uranium), radon build-up can occur in any home, regardless of age or how well it’s maintained. https://hubs.ly/H0D4tQy0

It turns out, size does matter. Or, rather, the misrepresentation of a home’s square footage, as a court ruled in favour of a first-time homebuyer in Stouffville, Ontario, after a seller and real estate agent failed to properly disclose the home’s size. An appraisal came in at 1,450 square feet, while the buyer has been told several figures ranging between 2,000 and 2,500 square feet. This discrepancy resulted in the rescission of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale and the return of the $50,000 deposit. https://hubs.ly/H0D4tM30

Though the hibernation season (aka winter) sometimes provides a welcome break from the usual hustle and bustle, things look a bit different this year. After spending so many months largely cooped up at home, facing a long, gray winter inside that same space may feel daunting, to say the least. Rather than dread the arrival of winter, why not channel that energy into a simple DIY project that’ll make you actually not mind spending a little extra time inside? https://hubs.ly/H0BJVj80

Radon is an invisible radioactive gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in the ground and it’s the number one cause of lung cancer for non-smokers. It’s found in every home in Canada, but testing is the only way to truly know if a home has dangerous levels. As Canadians continue to spend more time at home, now, more than ever, it’s important to test your home for radon. People confined to their homes during the pandemic could be exposed to high radon levels. https://hubs.ly/H0yS8h40

While we’re not typically alarmists in our inspection reports, this just went too far. We had to speak up so this homebuyer knew what kind of person owned this home before they bought it LOL
