Buyers often rush a pre-purchase house inspection or skip parts of building inspections and miss clues that cost real money later, so add an inspection contingency, book it before your contract deadlines, and do a quick check by running all taps and flushing toilets at once to watch for pressure drops or slow drains.
Do these and you avoid hidden moisture, unsafe wiring, and unconsented building work that can stall insurance or lending and cost thousands later. A solid house inspection takes about two hours and covers roof, exterior, interior, subfloor, attic, plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, with photos that help you price repairs, renegotiate, or walk away with confidence, and we can add building inspections or specialist checks when the signs call for it.
