A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Napier building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.
