If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has a significant issue.

This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.
