Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Elderslea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
