If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Highbury building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
