More Information: Getting a home inspection is generally seen as a prudent step for a prospective homebuyer. A home inspection can help identify any defects in the home or issues that will need to be addressed after purchasing. As in most other provinces, there are currently no specific regulations in Alberta governing home inspection businesses and there are no licensing requirements or enforced standards. The Alberta government is therefore considering introducing regulations for the home inspection industry and is seeking input from Albertans.
