If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
