If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Taradale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
