If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
