If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.
