The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Karori building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
