What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Pakowhai building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
