§ Numbering reflects the live report. A full sample PDF is available on request.

Excerpt — § 03
Construction era

"Built in 1972. Likely asbestos in original vermiculite attic insulation, drywall joint compound, and 9×9″ vinyl floor tile."

Properties built between 1950 and 1990 routinely contain asbestos-bearing materials in locations a one-hour inspection won't find. We surface the era-specific risks before you waive your inspection condition — not after demolition has started.

— From a recent buyer report, redacted address.

§ 06Questions

Plainly
answered.

We'd rather you ask us than not. Email reports@propertyreports.ca if your question isn't here.

01
Is this a home inspection?
No. A Property Report is a desk-based due-diligence document drawn from public records. It does not replace a qualified home inspector, lawyer, appraiser, or planning consultant — it tells you what to ask them.
02
How is the report generated?
We pull 20+ public datasets for the specific parcel, then use AI to synthesize them into plain-English sections. The output is structured and consistent across every report — no two are the same because no two properties are the same.
03
Which areas are live right now?
All 21 Vancouver Island municipalities are live, plus electoral areas in the CRD, RDN, CVRD, CMXRD, STRD, and ACRD regional districts. Lower Mainland cities (Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Coquitlam, and more) are coming soon. Email us with an address and we'll confirm before charging.
04
What if I order and the address isn't covered?
Full refund, no questions. We'd rather lose the order than send a report we're not confident in.
05
Can I share the report with my agent and lawyer?
Yes. The PDF is yours. Forward freely. The diligence checklist is the most useful part to share.
