If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Glenside building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.
