If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Kenepuru building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.
