A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Eastbourne 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 home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
