If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Porirua building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
