Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Heretaunga building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
