The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Hastings building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.
