If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
