Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
