If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
