If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
