Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Island Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
