Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
