The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.
