If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Kingsley Heights building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.
