If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Napier building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
