Is it necessary to need a home inspector?

[HeronGate]

I am buying a condo. Do I have to find a home inspector? Would that SPIS form be enough?

That all depends on what you are thinking. Usually, you can get benefits when you spend money for services. Good luck!

It is not necessary since you are purchasing a condo. which you I assume you Do have to pay monthly condo fee. Condominium corporation is responsible for the exterior of your condo unit, as you are responsible for anything inside.

If you are purchasing a freehold townhouse or single home, a home inspector will be ncessary to have.

What type of condo you are buying? Apartment condo or townhouse condo? For apartment condo I don't think you need a home inspector, just make sure all the water piles, drains, electric wires, and windows are in good shape.

If you are buying a town home, you may need one. Is this your first home? First time home buyer is better to have someone to check the house for you. When you hire a home inspector, make sure hire a competent guy.

The SPIS form is for the own owner to disclose all th e known problems (existing condition) about house. Make sure you understand all of the things written on the SPIP form. If there are problems that are not written on the SPIP form after you brought the house, the previous owner who sold you the house may held liable.
