If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Porirua building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.
