Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Wadestown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
