You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Horokiwi building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected 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 and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
