The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Te Mata building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.
