You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kingston building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
