If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Glengarry building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
