Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.
