Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.
