Looking for Local Pre-Sale Building Inspection Experts in Hornby

Local Hornby Pre-Sale Building Inspection

Buyers will run their own house inspections, and surprise defects can trigger price drops, credits, or a failed sale. We carry out a pre-sale house inspection two to four weeks before you list, find defects early, document them with photos, and map fix or disclose steps, because waiting, doing quick cosmetic patches, or hiding issues only gives buyers an advantage.

  • We Inspect Roof To Foundation.
  • We Test Plumbing And Electrical.
  • We Check Moisture And Drainage.
  • We Provide Next Day Reports.

Qualified and insured inspectors spend two to three hours on site, check roof, foundation, exterior cladding, interior, plumbing, electrical, subfloor, and moisture, and send a photo-rich report with repair priorities within 24 hours. We have completed many house inspections and building inspections in Hornby, and we guide timing and repairs so you avoid the usual mistakes like leaving it too late, skipping moisture testing, or failing to recheck after trades finish.

Skipping a pre-sale house inspection often leads to buyer renegotiations, delays at settlement, or legal issues when hidden defects such as roof leaks, unsafe wiring, or drainage problems surface late. We inspect before you list, ideally four to eight weeks ahead, document every major system with photos, and give a clear plan to fix what matters so you can price right and sell with fewer surprises.

  • We Inspect Structure And Foundations.
  • We Check Roofing And Exteriors.
  • We Assess Electrical And Plumbing.

We inspect houses across Hornby every day, follow recognised standards, use moisture metres and thermal imaging when needed, and deliver a clear report with photos and plain next steps.

Hornby's Leading Pre-Sale Building Inspection Services

Skipping a pre-sale house inspection often leads to surprise defects, price cuts, and buyer exits during building inspections, so smart sellers book it two to four weeks before going live. Common mistakes include listing first, fixing only cosmetics, or hiring an unlicensed inspector, and we counter that by inspecting roof to foundation, testing major systems, checking for moisture and safety issues, and delivering a plain language report within 24 hours with repair priorities and disclosure notes.

  • Licensed Building Inspectors In Hornby
