Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.
