If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.
