Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Glengarry building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.
