Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Pipitea building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
