Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Harbour View building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
