The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Newtown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
