The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Waiwhetu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
