Buying without a proper check can leave you with leaks, unsafe wiring, movement in the structure, or pest damage that costs thousands to fix and can hurt insurance later. We carry out a pre-purchase house inspection before you go unconditional, covering structure, roof, interior, wet areas, drainage, and visible plumbing and electrical, with moisture readings, clear photos, and a plain English report.
We are licensed and insured, we use moisture metres and thermal imaging when needed, and we deliver reports the same day that buyers can actually read and act on. In Whitby, we’ve completed many house inspections and building inspections, we welcome you on site, and we help you avoid common mistakes like booking after you go unconditional or skipping a pest check.

We handle this in Whitby with thorough building inspections, an on site walkthrough, and a clear report within 24 hours that ranks defects by urgency so you can negotiate credits or step back before the deadline.
Here is how we carry out a pre-purchase house inspection from first call to final report.

Here is what you get with our pre-purchase house inspection.
We check the roof space, subfloor, exterior, structure, foundations, moisture levels, plumbing, electrical, drainage, ventilation, heating, insulation, and site grading, and we use thermal imaging and moisture metres when they add value. We book quickly before offer or during your cooling off period, we’re fully insured, we’re independent, and we know Whitby conditions such as soil movement and termite risk, which cuts the chance of missed issues that can blow up your budget or hold up finance and insurance later.
