Buying without a pre-purchase house inspection is how people inherit leaks, unsafe wiring, foundation movement, and pest damage that viewings hide, and relying on a bank valuation or a handy friend is a common and costly mistake. We carry out the inspection before you sign the contract or during your offer period, with a full visual check inside and out plus moisture readings and a clear report so you can negotiate or walk away.
Licensed builders as inspectors, full insurance, and hundreds of building inspections completed, so you get clear advice, photos, and practical repair cost ranges. Many buyers skip a timber pest check, accept a checklist only report, or miss the roof space and subfloor, which hides decay and safety risks that turn into large costs, and we avoid those traps and explain next steps on the spot.
