If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
