The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
