If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Woolwich building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
