If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Waiohiki building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.
