If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Eskdale building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

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 search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
