Coles How to Read a Home Inspection Report: A Buyer's Plain-English Breakdown at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
You just got the inspection report. Now what?
Most home buyers do the same thing: they scroll to the end, look at the photos, and wait for someone to tell them if the deal is still alive. That approach costs people money — sometimes a lot of it.
How to Read a Home Inspection Report is the plain-English decoder every buyer needs before, during, and after the inspection process. This book walks you through every major section of a standard report — foundation, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, moisture — and tells you exactly what each finding actually means, what language to watch for, and what deserves your immediate attention versus what belongs on a weekend to-do list.
Inside, you'll find:
The Red/Yellow/Green triage system — a practical framework for prioritizing every finding in any report
Chapter-by-chapter breakdowns of every major home system, written for buyers, not contractors
How to spot the findings that inspectors describe in cautious language that actually signals serious risk
The difference between deferred maintenance and structural concern — and why it matters enormously for negotiation
A step-by-step approach to using the inspection period to your full advantage
This is not a book about how to do an inspection. It's a book about how to read one — and what to do with what you find.
