Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Te Awanga 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 home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
