Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
