If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Iona building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.
