What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Petone building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
