If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Elderslea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.
