Why a Pre-Purchase
Building Inspection Matters
Uncover Hidden Issues Before You Buy
Our inspections reveal hidden issues, such as water damage, structural faults, and pest activity—the very ones that are often not detected by open homes or quick walkthroughs.
Ensure Property Safety & Compliance
We assess whether the property meets building codes and safety standards, helping you avoid unsafe living conditions or future legal and repair obligations.
Negotiate Better
Terms
The inspection report also offers the purchaser a better bargaining position in terms of obtaining a reduced price or repairs before entering into the purchase contract.
