If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Waiohiki building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
