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.
