If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
