If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Hataitai building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
