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

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.
