If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Tamatea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
