Purchasing an
existing home: a pre-purchase inspection is a must, and offers you
assurance and peace of mind. A pre-purchase inspection includes Verification
of the homes Structural Integrity; General soundness and functioning
of services and finishes; Defects Assessment; Electrical Check; and
Safety Audit.
Building your
own home: it is essential to have your new home inspected at each
stage of completion, prior to paying your builder. An inspection at
each stage ensures you are getting the quality of work you are paying
for, and identifies any problems before it is too late.
Maintenance
and safety reports: for existing home owners to help you to protect
your most valuable asset. It provides you with information on potentially
costly problems before they occur. Maintenance on your home saves you
time and expense on major repairs, and ensures your home is safe for your
family and friends, as is now essential, particularly in this age of litigation.
