If you’re in the market for a new house, there are a number of things to consider: is the building and roof structurally sound? Is there any sign of termite activity? Will you need to do any renovations?
Unless you know what to look for, you could find yourself floundering in the dark. You won’t know if the house leaks when it rains until you actually move in. And by then, it’s way too late!
For this reason, many banks won’t lend you finance until you’ve had a pre-purchase inspection performed and cleared by a professional.
