Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Totara Park building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.
