If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Woodridge building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.
