It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
