If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Te Aro building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers 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 , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
