If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Elderslea building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.
