Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Haumoana building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
