The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kilbirnie building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
