If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.
