Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Petone building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.
