If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Hospital Hill building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
