If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.
