Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Kotemaori building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.
