Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Birchville building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.
