If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
