Prelisting / Pre-purchase ​Building Inspections

A pre-purchase building inspection with HS Building Inspections is the easiest way to put your mind at rest​
​
If you’re buying a home, it is essential to know if there are any major problems with it beforehand. Imagine buying a house for you and your family, only to discover the walls are filled with damp and mould, or the grounds flood whenever it rains. Unfortunately, this happens more often than you think.

HS Building Inspections can help. With one of our building inspections, you can have peace of mind knowing that your home is safe and trouble free. Or if there is an issue, we can suggest ways to fix it now, before it becomes a serious problem.
​
What a building inspection covers
Our building inspection covers numerous aspects of the property. We will look at the grounds, cladding, drainage, roofing, plumbing, electrical and much more.

Every room of the house is checked, both visually and with specialist equipment. This non-invasive procedure allows us to see things hidden to the human eye, while at the same time allowing you to continue on with your day.

​Easy to understand
A building inspection consists of several distinct aspects. Each one adds another level of detail, creating a full and comprehensive report. Each area of the property is summarised in easy to understand sections, making it simple to know if there is a problem, what that problem is, and what can be done about it.
