If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.
