If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Kingston building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
