Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Lower Hutt building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.
