Why a Pre-Purchase

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.

The building 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.
