It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been 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 inspection report issued by a qualified Glenside building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
