Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Ngaio building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
