If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Petone building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.
