Efrem and I wanted to thank you very much for the time you spent inspecting the house at Prince Edward St. You were very thorough, which is exactly what we needed given the lack of a PDS or any disclosure period! Read More…
Thx again for your work, we are using your binder as a bible. If you’d like a reference just let me know, happy to give it. Read More…
You are the freakin’ MAN! Thanks so much for educating me about building construction and problems we should look out for. The photos are fantastic. Good news, My friend Allison is going to be buying a place downtown Vancouver. Read More…
Ted Gilmour is one of the few independent certified home inspectors in Vancouver. He goes through the entire property – be prepared to be there for most of the day. He may be more expensive, but he teaches you everything you need to know about the home along the way. Read More…
Hi Ted, hope this note finds you well. Andrew and I (and the boys) have been living in our Bowen Island home (which you inspected for us) since July and are loving it here. We appreciate the guidance you gave us – if you’ll recall there was a serious mould problem in the attic … Read More…
We immensely appreciated your expertise & professionalism. Your inspection of our old timer house was instructive and the resulting detailed report enabled us to tailor our mortgage so that we could deal with all the renovations needed. Read More…
I am so impressed with the depth and quality of the information you have provided me after completing the home inspection of the property I am buying. Having an independent and unbiased opinion on the state of the property was essential after my realtor made it apparent that he was really representing the seller … Read More…
We are officially buying the home, but it took until late last night. It feels like I went into battle with the seller. I produced a list showing over $60,000 in repairs and managed a further reduction in price of $36,000 – plus, she is responsible for the roof drainage problem. Read More…
Thank you so much for all your help and time. We really appreciate it. We did not purchase the new house and got all our money back that we had invested and for our upgrades. The developer let us go quietly as they were afraid we would be calling City Hall regarding your discoveries … Read More…
I hired Ted Gilmour to inspect two condominiums prior to making a purchase decision. Ted’s patience and attention to detail during the inspection process was outstanding. Despite the fact that he does not bill per hour of service, he did not rush the inspection process … Read More…
It was a pleasure working with you again. Thank you for the professional job and your great attention to details. As usual, I learned a lot from the inspection done. I would like to inform you that we have closed the deal for the house. The owner agreed to discount $5000 to us! Read More…
A great big thank you, Ted, for your professionalism and attention to detail. You made us aware of all the existing problems and the potential problems that we should keep in mind as we were closing on our purchase. It was a very expensive house, outside our budget … Read More…
We used Ted Gilmour. He is an independent home inspector i.e. he refuses to accept referrals from real estate agents (feels it’s a conflict of interest). Many agents work closely with certain home inspectors and of course if the inspector doesn’t “pass” the homes, the agent will stop referring to them). Read More…
Ted is an incredibly thorough inspector, nothing escapes him. He is candid and insightful. His reports are clear and complete, he never minces his opinions; providing you with an absolutely clear view of the condition of the building. Read More…
We have used Ted Gilmour for two inspections now. We are extremely pleased with his work. The quality of the inspection report that Ted puts together is impressive. Even with a well-constructed home, the report’s attention to detail and numerous suggestions … Read More…
Just thought we would give you an update. Given the substantial moisture and other issues, we required a price reduction from the other party, which they were NOT willing to entertain. So the deal’s off and we’ve merrily parted ways! Read More…
Since we have no background with construction or renovation it was important for us to use an inspector who was 100% neutral and would be honest about the condition of the home. A close friend recommended Ted Gilmour by saying, “He is extremely detailed and he won’t lie to you”. Read More…
Thank you so much for opening our eyes. I have learned a great deal from this and look forward to meeting you again with Simon! Although your fee was easily twice what others charge I see it with the perspective that we invested 1k to save us a financially life ruining 600k mistake!!! Read More…
We got the home and they discounted the electrical. Your inspection was the smartest money I’ve ever spent. You do really good work. Read More…
