If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Ascot Park building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.
