If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Khandallah building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
