Buying a house without the right checks can leave you with leaks, unsafe wiring, pest damage, or structural movement that cost thousands later. Our pre-purchase house inspection finds major and minor issues before you sign or before your cooling off period ends, and we give a clear report with photos so you can negotiate or walk away.
We are local to Kelson, licensed and insured, and we inspect to accredited building inspection standards using moisture metres, thermal scanning, and safe access to subfloor and roof space where possible. Many buyers rely on a quick once over or book the inspection after finance approval, which weakens your negotiation power and can leave you paying for pre existing faults after settlement.
