The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Napier building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
