The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.
