Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified 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 makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.
