If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.
