Trusted Expert Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Services in Ilam

Trusted Ilam Pre-Purchase Building Inspection

You need to know what you are really buying before you go unconditional, but hidden defects like leaks, foundation movement, unsafe wiring, and poor drainage are easy to miss in a short viewing. We carry out a thorough pre-purchase house inspection with visual, non-invasive building inspections and same day reporting, so you can decide, renegotiate, or walk away.

  • Comprehensive Building Inspections
  • Roof Space And Subfloor Checks
  • Moisture Testing And Thermal Imaging
  • Pest And Termite Assessment

We are local to Ilam, 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.
