If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has a significant issue.

This assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.
