If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.
