Our Pre-Purchase
Inspection Services

Buy your next property with complete confidence. Our pre-purchase inspection service provides a detailed evaluation of the property’s condition before you buy — giving you clarity, confidence, and protection from unexpected costs.

Our licensed inspectors carefully assess every major area of the property, using advanced tools to detect hidden defects and potential pest activity. You’ll receive a detailed report outlining all findings and professional recommendations.

Protect your investment from hidden damage.

Our structural assessment inspects the foundation, walls, roofing, floors, and ceilings for cracks, movement, or other damage. We help you identify potential weaknesses that could affect your property’s safety and long-term stability.

Prevent costly water damage and mould.

Water-related issues can cause serious problems if left undetected. Our moisture and leak detection process identifies damp areas, plumbing leaks, and water damage that may lead to mould, rot, or structural decay. We pinpoint hidden issues that are often missed.

Inspect hard-to-reach areas for peace of mind.

Roof spaces and subfloors are often overlooked, yet they can hide serious problems such as structural weaknesses, pest activity, or ventilation issues. Our team conducts a thorough examination of these hard-to-reach areas, checking for sagging, leaks, timber damage, and much more.

Stop infestations before they start.

Pests and termites can silently damage a property for years before you notice. Our pest and termite inspection identifies active infestations and early warning signs using advanced detection tools such as thermal imaging and moisture meters.

Ensure every corner of your property is safe.

A thorough inspection of the interior and exterior is critical for understanding a property’s overall condition. We assess walls, windows, doors, plumbing systems, electrical components, and other structural elements for safety, performance, and potential defects.

Ensure your property meets modern safety standards.

We assess critical safety aspects such as smoke alarms, electrical fittings, gas installations, and general compliance with building regulations. This ensures the property is safe to live in and helps you identify potential hazards or non-compliance issues.
