Hidden leaks, structural movement, pest damage, and unsafe work can turn a bargain into a costly problem after settlement. Book a pre-purchase house inspection before you go unconditional and we’ll carry out a thorough, visual building inspection of the roof, exterior, interior, roof space, and subfloor, take moisture readings, note safety risks, give a same day report with photos and repair priorities, and help you avoid common mistakes like relying on a friend or booking after you sign.

The common snag with a pre-purchase house inspection is rushing it or treating it like a checkbox. A practical fix is to schedule it before you remove conditions and make sure it is a full building inspection that covers structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, drainage, and safety; a tiny check you can do now is to run every tap for one minute to spot slow drains and scan ceilings for stains. Time matters.
