What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Timberlea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
