If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Mount Victoria building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
