If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.
