The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Thorndon 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 assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.
