Who does your pre-purchase inspection matters
Where do you get better service? The local butcher or the supermarket meat section? When a business is 100% independently owned, they know that providing you with excellence is what keeps their business thriving. We’ve been in business for over 25 years and most of our customers come directly from referrals from delighted customers. We make sure of it. You’ll talk directly to the business owner, Andrew. Andrew has worked in pre-purchase inspections in Brisbane his whole life. He knows your suburb. He knows the hidden issues in your area. He knows about the agents – good, bad and downright dodgy. We offer you complete transparency and a report so thorough that it can help you bring the seller back to the negotiation table if something’s wrong.
