Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Heretaunga building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
