Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.
