If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Broadmeadows building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.
