If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Island Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
