Pre-Purchase Building Inspections
Pre-Purchase Building Inspections
A Pre-Purchase Inspection could help save you money in the long run by detecting property faults that you can’t see for yourself. A home is often the largest purchase a family will make and its important you know exactly what you are buying. We recommend a Pre Purchase Building and Timber Pest inspection be carried out before every house purchase to avoid costly repairs at a later date.
Our building inspections are designed to make you aware of any potential dangers or damages the property being inspected may have. By obtaining the report before you’ve made any financial commitment, it allows you to make an objective decision about whether or not this is a investment that you are willing to make.
