The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
