Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Hataitai building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity 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 problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.
