What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
