Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Lyall Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
