What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair 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.
