The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Hawkes Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
