It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
