If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Trentham building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
