If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.
