Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Totara Park building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
