There's a clause in most offers to purchase in Canada that says it's subject to an acceptable home inspection; in Ontario it generally states "to the purchasers sole satisfaction". In Alberta, the offer on my home had a specific % in repair cost relative to the purchase price that would be considered acceptable. This gives you a clear, legal way to back out of a purchase if you find something untoward. If you do the inspection yourself, you're in a pretty grey area. And I don't think they're going to let you spend several hours going through the house with a fine tooth comb BEFORE placing an offer on the house. My home inspection cost $380, and that was typical of the several quotes I got.
