Condo Inspection Montreal: What's Different and What to Look For

Condo inspections in Montreal require a different approach than single-family homes. Here's what you need to know.

What a Condo Inspection Covers

Inside Your Unit

• Windows and doors
• Heating and cooling systems
• Kitchen appliances
• Flooring and walls
• Balcony/terrace condition
• Moisture signs in wet areas

What We Can See of Common Areas

• Visible parking garage conditions
• Building envelope (exterior)
• Hallway conditions
• Visible mechanical systems

Why You Still Need an Inspection

Even in new condos, we regularly find:

• Improperly installed finishes
• Missing insulation
• Window seal failures
• Air leakage at exterior penetrations

The Importance of the Condo Documents

Beyond inspection, review:

• Contingency fund - Should be at least 25% of operating budget
• Building inspection report - Look for major repairs planned
• Meeting minutes - Reveals ongoing issues
• Insurance certificate - Adequate coverage

Don't skip the inspection. Even small units can have expensive problems.
