The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Clive building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
