Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Timberlea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.
