Why Book Pre-Purchase Building Inspections?

Uncover Hidden
Issues

A pre-purchase building examination reveals latent problems like structural deterioration, insect infestations, or obsolete systems. Early identification of these issues lets you solve them before you commit to a property, therefore, perhaps saving large expenses.

Negotiate Better
Terms

By pointing up any problems during the inspection, you position yourself to negotiate better terms with the seller. Be it a price cut or repair requests, the inspection report guarantees you shrewd decisions on your purchase.

Ensure Property Safety and Compliance

Pre-purchase inspections guarantee that the property follows regional construction codes and safety guidelines. While avoiding legal issues, this method helps find any possible safety hazards, therefore safeguarding your investment and the well-being of the next tenants. 

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 will assess the condition of your roofing components, gutters, insulation, and ventilation to discover potential problems that could lead to water damage or structural damage.

Doors and Window Frames

During our inspection, we inspect the condition of doors and window frames for damage, misalignment, or wear. We make sure they are functional, well-sealed, and thus prevent drafts, water leakage, or areas that can become a security risk, compromising the property.

Cracks & Defects

We thoroughly inspect the property for cracks and defects in the walls, foundation, and ceiling. Identifying structural issues early helps avoid ongoing damage to the building and preserves its integrity, while providing valuable information on necessary repairs and maintenance.

Internal & External Walls & Floors

We check both internal and external walls and floors for visible damage caused by cracks, stains, and water leaks. We evaluate the structural integrity of these surfaces for the safety and stability of the building as a future living space.

Termite or Timber Pest Infestation

We focus on areas susceptible to damage, such as timber structures and foundations, and inspect the property for termite or timber pest infestations. Early detection can prevent major structural damage, saving you from costly repairs down the track.

Suspected Asbestos Materials

We identify any suspected asbestos-containing materials on the premises during the inspection. To ensure safety, we examine walls, roofing, and insulation. If asbestos is found, we recommend expert removal to mitigate the health risks associated with exposure.

Structural Issues and Safety Risks

We identify structural problems, such as cracks in the foundation or compromised load-bearing walls. Safety hazards, including exposed wiring, unsafe staircases, or a lack of fire escapes, are also addressed to ensure the property is safe and habitable.
