The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Clive building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
