If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.
