If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Lyall Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
