The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Te Hauke building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.
