If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.
