It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
