What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified St Leonards building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
