If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
