If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
