Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Napier South building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
