The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Birchville building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.
