If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
