Had a home inspection by this company and more specifically Scott Neilson. From scheduling to the completion of the final report every step was well communicated and professional. During the home inspection Scott was willing to answer questions about the home and provide small tips on how best to repair the minor faults he identified. His report was very diligent and complete with lots of photos. I believe I got a great value from his services and would have no issue returning to his services should the need arise. Very happy with the service and believe you will be in good hands should you support this company. Thanks Scott for your work ensuring my future home was a solid and safe purchase.

I recently hired Scott Neilson to inspect a home I was interested in purchasing and I could not have been more impressed with their services. Scott was extremely thorough, professional, and knowledgeable throughout the entire inspection process.What stood out the most was Scott's attention to detail. He left no stone unturned and made sure to inspect every nook and cranny of the home. His extensive knowledge of home construction and maintenance allowed them to identify even the smallest issues that I would not have noticed on my own.During the inspection, Scott took the time to explain every finding to me in a clear and concise manner. He answered all of my questions and provided helpful tips and advice on how to address any issues that were discovered.Thanks to Scott, I was able to make an informed decision on the purchase of the home. His thorough inspection gave me peace of mind and confidence in my decision.I highly recommend Scott Neilson to anyone in need of a house inspector. His professionalism, attention to detail, and expertise are second to none. Thank you, Scott for providing outstanding service and helping me make an informed decision on my home purchase.

Lawrence was the best decision I made during my home buying experience. Well worth the money. He was professional and thorough. Not only was he thorough, but he explained everything he was looking at, everything he saw and everything he would do if the property were his. The itemized report was both written and visual which made it easy to understand, even if you weren't present for the inspection. It also made reporting back and making amendments clear and defensible. I HIGHLY recommend Lawrence and his team and will use him for all future home purchases.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Lawrence from A Buyer's Choice Home Inspections Ottawa West during our family home purchase in Ottawa. Lawrence meticulously went through our prospective house explaining in very clear terms what he was inspecting, why they mattered and answered all our questions along the way. In addition to conducting our inspection, Lawrence was extremely courteous, taking the time to discuss with us some of the special considerations to keep in mind having a home in Ottawa, as we are moving from the west coast and have different climatic conditions. A Buyer's Choice Home Inspections promptly provided us with a full inspection report, that clearly detailed all the information uncovered during the inspection which allowed us in turn to make an informed decision regarding our home purchase. Lawrence made the process easy, we highly recommend him.

Lawrence was a true pleasure to work with, giving us confidence in the purchase of our first home. Lessons learned included taking pictures yourself in addition to those taken for an inspection report, taking detailed notes as Lawrence or one of his colleagues take you through the inspection, and finally, following up on any questions in the report itself so you have this for posterity's sake.Thank you Lawrence!

Lawrence went through and inspected a house we ended up purchasing. As first time home buyers, he was super patient and took the time to explain what he was doing and why he was doing it. Made suggestions/recommendations to ensure that the house was more efficient including letting us know of a few government grants that we could apply to for window and insulation replacement. Answered all of our questions and then some! Would recommend Lawrence + his team to anyone and everyone.

Lawrence is an excellent home inspector. He always makes himself available, punctual, and is very thorough when he inspects a property. Lawrence always goes the extra mile to research an item or concern, to make sure our client is getting the best knowledge, and information when they are buying a property. He takes lots of pictures so that the buyer can view any issues that come up after the inspection. He never rushes through to get to his next appointment. I have always been very satisfied with Lawrence's detailed observations, and his willingness to review all issues with the Buyers directly. His report format is written in "Plain English" for easy comprehension. I highly recommend his home inspection service to all of our Buyers. He absolutely takes pride in his work, and it shows. I have learned so much about building systems, and construction from this man over the years, he really is like a real estate encyclopedia. I have been helping people buy and sell homes for over 8 years now, and have worked with so many companies to inspect homes. With extreme confidence I can honestly say, Lawrence is one of the best! I trust him and he delivers, and as a result my life and the lives of our clients have become a lot less stressful. Give him a call, you won't regret it!Charles Khouri | REALTOR®

Rick was professional, speedy, and thorough. He was punctual, well presented, and friendly. He inspected my condo on short notice and delivered very useful information in a way I could understand, on the spot and also in a comprehensive report. The company provides tons of useful resources (safe home guide, maintenance guides, standards of practice, etc) and supports for the entire time you own the home. I have zero complaints- very happy with my experience, will keep in touch, and will definitely return for my next home purchase!

Lawrence was prompt to reply to our request for a home inspection. We needed to find someone quickly and didn't want to compromise on quality. The level of training was evident in the quality of the report and detailed explanation with photos. Lawrence called us after the inspection and went through all issues identified along with the remedy required. Customer service - 5 stars. Included with the service is free technical advice for as long as you own the property along with a Safe Home Book with valuable home ownership information.

Honestly, the best inspection experience. Rick was very friendly and knowledgeable so if you don't know anything about houses or what to look for, he makes you feel comfortable and explains everything in terms you'll get. He was very thorough and checked literally everything in the house including on the roof and in the crawl space. Where he found issues, he also had contacts he recommended to get things fixed up. He verbally explained what was needed to fix the issues and gave estimated prices for each item. You also get a 60+ page report with pictures so you have note of everything. Amazing service and would recommend to anyone.

Scott really went above and beyond when he came to do an inspection! The house I am purchasing is a bit of a project, so I was worried at what he might find. He was very thorough going through the home and not only answered all my questions, but he also helped me prioritize any issues that should be addressed right away and which could be addressed over the longer term. His report was easy to understand and he has offered continued support if I have any follow up questions. Very patient and professional… if I could give more stars, I would!

Professional and responsive. I found the home inspection Rick did for us to be thorough and he took the time to explain things as he went along. I would recommend this company.

Scott did a great job with our home inspection! Not only was he thorough, but he took the time to explain everything to us and gave helpful suggestions. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to any of our friends! :)

Why Hire an Inspector?

Inspectors are critical in insuring that you are making an informed choice when purchasing or selling your home or property. Inspectors are trained to see through cover-ups, low-quality renovations and issues that might be coming up.

Be Informed

Hiring an inspector helps make sure you have all the information you need to make the right choice. 

Get to know your home.

An Inspector can help you understand the ins and outs of your home in ways you may not have thought of.

The Housing Market in Ottawa, ON

The housing market in Ottawa has been steadily growing in recent years, with a consistent increase in both house prices and demand. According to the Ottawa Real Estate Board, the average price of residential properties in 2020 was $567,000, representing a 19% increase compared to the previous year. The sales of homes also increased by 7%, with over 18,000 properties sold in total. This trend is expected to continue in the coming years, as many people are attracted to the city’s stable economy, diverse culture, and excellent quality of life. However, the demand for houses is also leading to a shortage of available properties, making it challenging for first-time buyers and those on a budget to enter the market.

Despite the challenges, buying a home in Ottawa can be a great investment. The city is home to many thriving industries, including technology, tourism, and government services, which provide job security and a steady income for residents. Additionally, the city’s growing population and limited land availability make it an attractive region for real estate investment. Many investors are looking to buy properties in up-and-coming neighbourhoods, such as Westboro, Hintonburg, and Beechwood, where they can enjoy a high return on investment. Overall, the housing market in Ottawa remains strong, and while there are challenges, it continues to offer attractive opportunities for potential buyers and investors alike.
