If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
