Pre Purchase Building Inspections

Buying a house is probably the biggest Investment you will ever make. So before you become financially and emotionally committed to your new home let the property and inspection report specialists carry out a pre purchase building inspection to make sure you are not purchasing somebody else’s problems that may be a financial & health burden to you and your family in the future. Although you may cast your eye over the property during your inspection, this is never enough to fully assess the structural performance or costly maintenance requirements that may be underlying.

Make a well informed decision when buying your new home!

Building inspections are very important because they not only identify major structural damage to a new or older home but also faults disguised by cosmetic improvements which could be potentially dangerous if they do not meet building standards. If these faults are serious it can be extremely expensive, not to mention time consuming, to have them rectified.

At Bell our Building Inspectors provide our clients with the most thorough and high attention to detail inspections by accessing all areas which include the roof void, the sub-floor as well as the entire building externally and internally to report on defects such as:
