The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Waiwhetu building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
