If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.
