Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.
