Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Hawkes Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.
