Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

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