The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Alicetown building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
