What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Oriental Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.
