Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Te Aro building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.
