Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Heretaunga building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
