If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Totara Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications 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 where there is damp or mould.
