A pre-purchase inspection, as the name suggests, takes place when a home is purchased. A building inspection is often included as a condition precedent in the purchase contract. The building inspection consists of a thorough examination of a large number of elements. Think of the foundation, condition of the roof, tiles, roof sheathing, gutters, zinc, and chimneys. These matters are important, because when buying a house, you certainly don't want unexpected costs. Want to be sure you're making the right decision?

In short, having a professional pre-purchase inspection performed is highly recommended if you want certainty.

What is all being checked?
The purchased home is inspected from top to bottom, with the building inspector always starting at the top of the house. Here, we'll check the roof structure for leaks, wood decay, and structural integrity. Next, the building inspector will thoroughly examine each room and look for any defects. The crawl space is also thoroughly inspected, and if possible, an inspector will always enter the crawl space to check for any issues. Next, the exterior of the house will assess the facade, window frames, gutters, and so on.
