It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Eastbourne building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
