If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Whitby building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
