Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Heretaunga building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

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