If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Houghton Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.
