At Mal Wright Pest & Building Inspections, we understand the significance of purchasing a property. Whether it’s your dream home or a potential investment, ensuring its structural integrity and safety is paramount. That’s why we offer comprehensive pre-purchase pest & building inspections to provide you with peace of mind and confidence in your decision-making process.
A pre-purchase inspection is a thorough examination of a property conducted by qualified inspectors before the purchase. It aims to identify any existing or potential issues with the property’s structure, pest infestations, and overall condition. This inspection provides buyers with valuable insights into the property’s true condition, allowing them to make informed decisions about their investment.
A pre-purchase pest and building inspection is essential for peace of mind and investment confidence. It helps buyers uncover hidden defects or structural issues that may not be visible during a casual viewing. Identifying these issues early can prevent costly repairs or unexpected expenses down the line. Additionally, a pre-purchase inspection can highlight any pest infestations, such as termites, which could cause significant damage if left untreated. Ultimately, investing in a pre-purchase inspection gives buyers confidence in their purchase and helps them avoid potential pitfalls in the future.
We cover a wide range of aspects during a pre-purchase pest and building inspection to give buyers a thorough grasp of the property’s condition:

After the pre-purchase inspection is completed, our team will provide you with a detailed report outlining our findings. This report will include any issues or defects discovered during the inspection, along with recommendations for further action. We recommend that you contact your inspector to discuss the findings of the report in detail to ensure you fully understand the issues identified and next steps. Armed with this information, you can negotiate with the seller to address any identified issues, seek professional advice if necessary, or make an informed decision about whether to proceed with the purchase.
