Tips for Finding the Best Harewood Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Services

People often book the pre-purchase house inspection after going unconditional, which kills your bargaining power and locks you into costly faults. Quick fix is to make your offer subject to inspection and confirm access in writing, for example ask the agent for a two hour window this week, and make sure the inspection covers structure, roof, plumbing, wiring, moisture, and safety with a clear written report and photos.

  • Make offer subject to inspection
  • Book before paying any deposit
  • Hire a qualified, insured inspector
  • Ask for roof to foundation checks

Follow these and you cut hidden damage risk, avoid contract delays and insurance denials, and gain stronger price bargaining power with clear house inspections. Costs add up.
