Why Book Pre-Purchase Building Inspections?
Uncover Hidden
Issues
Many property problems, such as latent structural issues or pests, aren’t immediately visible in a casual walk-through. A pre-purchase inspection helps identify hidden issues before you decide to buy.
Negotiate Better
Terms
If any problems are discovered, you can negotiate a lower price or ask the seller to make repairs. This could save you thousands of dollars on unexpected repairs in the future.
Ensure Property Safety and Compliance
A comprehensive inspection report can protect you from purchasing a property with severe structural issues, infestations, or hidden damage, protecting your investment and enabling you to negotiate more favorable purchase terms.
What Does a Pre-
Purchase House Inspection Involve?
Roof Exterior and Roof Space
The exterior of the roof and loft space is examined closely for evidence of deterioration, leaks, or damage. We assess the condition of your roofing components, gutters, insulation, and ventilation to identify potential problems that could lead to water or structural damage.
Doors and Window Frames
The functionality, damage, and sealing of doors and window frames are inspected. We look for signs of decay, warping, or poor installation that may compromise the home’s energy efficiency, security, and structural integrity.
Cracks & Defects
Cracks and defects in walls, floors, and ceilings are closely examined. Our inspections focus on identifying structural issues or movement problems, distinguishing between minor cosmetic concerns and those that need to be addressed to avoid future damage.
Internal & External Walls & Floors
Both internal and external walls and floors are checked for visible damage, such as cracks, stains, and water leaks. We evaluate the structural adequacy of these surfaces to ensure the stability and safety of the building for future habitation.
Termite or Timber Pest Infestation
A thorough examination is conducted to detect evidence of termite or timber pest activity, including wood damage, mud tubes, and excretions. Early identification prevents costly structural damage and allows timely action before the problem escalates.
Suspected Asbestos Materials
Older properties may contain asbestos-containing materials (ACM), which need thorough examination. If ACM is discovered, we advise managing or removing it to ensure safety, as disturbed asbestos can be hazardous to residents’ health.
Structural Issues and Safety Risks
Structural problems, such as foundation cracks or compromised load-bearing walls, are identified. Health and safety hazards, like exposed wiring, unsafe staircases, or a lack of fire escapes, are addressed to ensure the property remains safe and habitable.
