We focus on identifying major concerns such as structural integrity, significant water damage, and inherent issues that may not be easily resolved. Leveraging on 20 years of experience and expertise, our professionals will thoroughly assess the property to identify potential problems and determine whether the property is worth purchasing at all. We have advised nearly 80% of our clients to reconsider their potential purchase due to critical issues like major illegal alterations, undisclosed land encumbrances, falsely claimed renovations, and prohibitive repair costs that you may not have been well advised. These hidden problems often elude standard defects inspections and require a thorough, experienced overview. Our detailed assessments provide a clear recommendation: BUY or ABORT.

What can I expect after the inspection?

Can you inspect flats, apartments, or condominiums?
Yes, our house inspection services cover flats, apartments, and condominiums. The process typically involves non-destructive methods such as digital, laser, and thermographic equipment. The inspector will primarily assess issues like water ingress, termite infestation, defective finishes, and structural stability and provide a recommendation immediately based on their findings.
Can you serve as an expert witness for a case involving a defective house?

For a comprehensive perspective, we recommend consulting directly with the inspector, who will offer expert opinions and support your case effectively.
If you find major issues with the property, does that mean it’s unsellable?
Not necessarily. Buyers have varying goals—some are willing to invest in renovations or appreciate the location despite defects. Our role is to provide an objective assessment of the property’s condition, including potential costs and time required for repairs. This information helps you understand the risks and make an informed decision. While our findings might make a property challenging for sellers, they ensure you have the facts before proceeding.
