If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Gracefield building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
