What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Seatoun building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
