When To Schedule Marine Survey
Services in Toronto
In Toronto, there are several good reasons to schedule a marine survey. The most common is when you’re buying a boat, will it be a solid investment, or end up costing more than you’re willing to spend? If you’re selling, a current marine survey and inspection can give potential buyers the confidence they need. Your insurance company may also require a survey for policy renewals, and financial institutions often need one before approving financing. Finally, if you find yourself dealing with major repairs, you may need the help of a boat surveyor in Canada survey before launching again. If you’re looking for marine surveyors near you, Kiki Marine is here to help you in all of these scenarios:
Before Purchasing a Boat
You wouldn’t buy a house without an inspection. The same goes for a boat. A thorough inspection from a trusted marine surveyor is a professional assessment that gives you a solid idea of the boats’ condition. It will let you know what repairs are needed immediately and which can be put off.
For Insurance Purposes
Depending on the age, condition and style of your boat - as well as your insurance company’s policies - an insurance company will need your boat surveyed periodically.
For Financing or Loan Approval
Often before a bank will offer financing, you will have to show evidence of a professional marine survey. Only then will they have an idea of the boat's actual value and approve or deny a loan.
Before Selling Your Boat
Getting a marine survey prior to selling your vessel accomplishes two things. First, it will give you a good idea of the market value. But more importantly, a boat surveyor gives buyers a sense of comfort. This doesn’t mean they won’t get their own survey done. However, it may make your boat more appealing as a viewing option.
After a Major Repair or Refit
If you had to have your insurance company involved in a major repair, it is very likely they will need the services of an expert marine surveyor before they will agree to keep your insurance policy in effect.
