What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that 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 highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.
