If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.
