If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.
