Small jobs to do when buying a condo or a house
When you buy a property, there is usually some work and improvements that need to be made. Some small jobs will normally be listed in your pre-purchase inspection report and other work will be aesthetic and will vary from buyer to buyer. This work could also be done by the seller before taking possession. This aspect of the transaction is subject to negotiation! It is very rare to see transactions without any work to do on both existing houses/condos and in new real estate projects. So do not be surprised!
