Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Te Awa building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
