Don't buy a house without a pre-purchase property inspection
When you’re buying a home, a pre-purchase property inspection can provide you with essential information about the home’s condition.

Paul from broad building inspections was available anytime when I needed assistance. If I had any questions he was always happy to answer them. If I didn't have broad building inspection the building company would of done whatever they like. If I was to building again I would definitely use broad building inspections.
