OUR SERVICES
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Comprehensive Assessment
Know exactly what you’re buying. Our comprehensive, non-invasive inspections cover the interior, exterior, subfloor, and roof space (where accessible) to identify any structural or maintenance concerns. We’ll provide a clear, detailed report so you can make a confident decision.
Pre-Sale Inspections

Andrew Molten
"Shane was brilliant throughout the process of helping us get a pre-purchase inspection for our first home! We were really impressed with the thorough report we received. He spotted some things that we never would have picked up on our own. And then was really great at debriefing us on the report, letting us know how important the things he found are, and what that means for maintenance on the way forward. Highly recommend!"
