Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Newtown building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.
