The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Newtown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building 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.
