Pre Purchase Building Inspection

Buying a home is a big decision, make sure you know exactly what you’re getting.

Buying a home is a big moment. You want to feel sure about what you're walking into.

Homes often have issues that aren’t obvious at first glance. We check what you can’t see… structure, leaks, pests, poor workmanship, so you know what’s there and what’s not.

You get a clear, detailed report and honest answers.

What We Check in a Pre-Purchase Building Inspection

  • Structural condition

    Roof, walls, floors - movement, damage, or poor workmanship.

  • Termite Activity

    Signs of termites, old damage, or conditions they like.

  • Moisture, Drainage & Ventilation

    Leaks, damp spots, water flow, and airflow - to prevent bigger problems.

  • Safety Risks

    Trip hazards, loose fixings, or anything else that could be unsafe.
