What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
