House it Going Ottawa Podcast – EPISODE #4
What happens when you get the keys to your new home... and discover water in the basement, a broken dishwasher, or defects that weren't visible during the showing?
In Episode #4, we're joined by Brian Wilson, one of Ottawa's most respected real estate lawyers, to discuss the legal issues that can arise after closing and what buyers and sellers need to know to protect themselves.
Topics we cover:
Hidden defects discovered after possession
Who is responsible for broken appliances?
Why final walkthroughs are critical
What happens when buyers and sellers disagree after closing
The most common legal disputes Brian sees in today's market
How to avoid costly mistakes before taking possession
One of the biggest takeaways:
A home inspection doesn't catch everything. Once the house is empty, buyers often discover issues they couldn't see before. Knowing your rights, and your responsibilities, can save you thousands of dollars and a lot of stress.
Whether you're buying, selling, or simply planning your next move, this episode is packed with valuable insights from a legal expert who deals with these situations every day.
