There are many reasons to seek a building inspection - from an end of lease inspection through to renovating/design advice, or in association with a home loan application.

It takes a trained eye to judge whether a house is sound or has hidden faults; whether it has any illegal extensions or repair work; and what may be needed to correct a fault.

A pre-purchase building inspection examines the whole building objectively for structural soundness and the condition of services and fittings. The professional carrying out the inspection will produce a written report for you covering areas such as:

•      Electrical and plumbing systems
•      Condition of windows and doors
•      Presence of salt damp
•      Foundation settlement including previously concealed problems such as cracks in walls
•      The likely cause of any faults and appropriate remedial measures including cost guidance.

A pre-purchase inspection can give you peace of mind and help you to make an informed decision about the condition of a house.
