If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

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