What matters for your property
Home Inspections Starting at $500 + GST
The published starting figure is $500 + GST. This is not a single guaranteed price for every house, strata property or inspection request. ENG Inspections does not list a separate fixed rate for each BC city; instead, Nigel considers the details of the actual property and confirms the fee before the appointment.
You should not have to guess whether your address is eligible or assume a dramatic price increase because you live outside the Lower Mainland. Share the property address, type, approximate size and requested date. Nigel can confirm service availability, any relevant travel considerations and the final scope transparently.
- Property type: detached house, condo, townhouse, new home or commercial building.
- Size and complexity: accessible systems, multiple levels and outbuildings where included.
- Scope: full visual inspection, warranty-stage review or other agreed inspection needs.
- Location, access and scheduling: travel is discussed before confirming the quote.
Property-type examples — not client case studies
Examples of How BC Property Types Affect a Quote
These illustrative situations show how inspection questions can differ between British Columbia properties. They are not claims about inspections carried out at named addresses or conditions affecting every building in a community.
A compact condo in Burnaby
A unit-only inspection typically differs in scope from a full detached property assessment. The quote will account for the agreed accessible areas and exclusions.
A larger Fraser Valley detached house
Multiple levels, accessible attic or crawlspace areas and additional systems may require different inspection effort. Nigel will ask for relevant property details rather than applying a generic city rate.
A commercial unit in Victoria
Commercial property inspections require a separate building-specific scope and quotation. The residential starting figure should not be assumed to apply to commercial assignments.
Useful findings and limitations
What You Receive for the Agreed Inspection Fee
Nigel personally carries out the agreed visual assessment and documents observable conditions. Reports use photographs, explanations and recommendations where appropriate. Hidden defects, destructive testing, specialist engineering and environmental sampling are not automatically included.
Check the sample home inspection report, compare inspection services in BC, and read frequently asked questions before requesting a quote.
For BC buyers, a pre-purchase inspection during a subject period is different from new-home warranty review or a pre-listing inspection for sellers. The appropriate service is chosen first, and the fee is then confirmed for that property.
Owner-operated experience and accountability
Experience Behind a BC Property-Specific Quote
ENG Inspections is owned and operated by Nigel Greenidge, who has inspected properties since 2016 and has more than 20 years of construction, renovation and contracting experience. Quotes are discussed directly with the inspector rather than through an invented city-by-city rate chart.
Inspector credentials: Nigel Greenidge lists Consumer Protection BC home inspector licence #72615 and ASTTBC PI0521. He performs ENG Inspections assessments personally. Learn more about Nigel's background. Licence status can be independently checked with the relevant regulator.
For home inspection cost in BC, the right conclusion depends on what is safely accessible on the inspection date and what is expressly included in the agreed scope. Documentation supports informed next steps; it is not a warranty or a promise that hidden issues cannot exist.

Frequently asked questions
Home Inspection Cost in BC: FAQs
What is the starting cost of a home inspection in BC?
Home inspections with ENG Inspections start at $500 + GST. Final pricing depends on the specific property and agreed work.
Is the price automatically higher outside Metro Vancouver?
There is no published automatic city-based surcharge schedule. Nigel reviews each enquiry, including any travel considerations, and supplies a quote before booking.
Are condo and detached-home inspections the same price?
Not necessarily. Their accessible components, size and scope may differ. Request a quote with the address and property type.
Is a commercial building inspection covered by the $500 + GST starting price?
