How a pre-purchase inspection can save you money?
When you buy your dream home certainly don’t want to be footing the bill on repairs that should have been taken into account before the sale. BPPI’s pre-purchase inspection cost include the checks for health risks, accident potential, unapproved/non-compliant building work, and structural failings. BPPI have discovered many problems to new and old homes over the years where the companies responsible for the homes were required to compensate the repairs free-of-charge.
