What is a pre-purchase electrical inspection?

A pre-purchase electrical inspection is a detailed assessment of a property’s electrical system completed before buying.

It identifies:

  • Electrical safety risks

  • Non-compliant or outdated wiring

  • Potential upgrade or repair costs

  • Immediate issues that may affect insurance or occupancy

This inspection is not an EWOF and does not involve certification — it’s a risk and condition report to support informed decision-making.

Why get an electrical inspection before buying?

Many electrical issues are hidden behind walls and ceilings. A pre-purchase inspection can help you:

  • Avoid unexpected repair costs

  • Identify unsafe or non-compliant wiring

  • Understand upgrade requirements

  • Negotiate purchase price or conditions

  • Plan future electrical work

This is especially important for older homes, renovations, or investment properties.
