The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
