If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.
