Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Papakowhai building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
