Financing and home inspection conditions are among the most important clauses buyers should include in an Ontario Agreement of Purchase and Sale.

Ontario real estate lawyer Jason Lane explains why a mortgage pre-approval does not guarantee financing for a specific property, as lenders must still review and appraise the home before providing final approval. He also discusses how a professional home inspection can identify hidden defects that may not be apparent during a viewing, allowing buyers to negotiate repairs, reconsider the purchase, or proceed with greater confidence.
