If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Cannons Creek building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
