What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Harbour View building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
