Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Wadestown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.
