Pre-purchase
The choice is obvious …
Buying a new home is the biggest financial investment you will ever make, it's a decision you need to get right.
Unfortunately, dealing with banks, agents, negotiations and contracts leave little time to consider the most important questions of all:
- Is your new home structurally sound?
- Is your new home safe to live in?
- Are repairs needed and when?
- Will those repairs be major or minor?
- Could you afford tens of thousands of dollars to repair major faults?
The local market is not immune to crooks, sadly there are some sellers and dodgy agents that won’t disclose major faults or works required. There are also those that may not even be aware that these faults existed.
A Probe pre-purchase building inspection is CRITICAL to protect you, your family and your lifetime financial commitment.
To put costs into perspective – if after purchase your home needed the foundations replaced - the cost could be as high as $20,000. A pre-purchase building inspection of $400 is a fraction of that price and with other major faults identified it could save you years of anguish and cost.
Is it really worth the risk to buy before you have all the facts?

Negotiate property prices
An extensive building inspection can also provide a very powerful negotiating tool with agents and sellers. Identifying potential or current structural issues and the costs needed to repair them will give you the power to negotiate for a cheaper price.
