Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Glengarry building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
