If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Lyall Bay building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
