The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Haywards building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.
