Why you need a Pre-Purchase Building Inspection before buying a property in a “hot” New Zealand housing market.
If you want to buy in the “hot” New Zealand housing market, and you wondering if you should get a home inspection, I can make it easy for you - Yes! The answer is a resounding, yes!
Maybe you found a house you love, and you want to get the process going and make that house yours, and you consider skipping a few steps…
I understand the excitement and anticipation, but the potential sacrifices are not worth it!
How much money would you be willing to gamble on one bet? When you skip a pre-purchase building inspection, you are gambling A LOT of money! The risk of forgoing a pre-purchase building inspection is huge. There may be issues with the building that aren’t easily visible to an untrained eye. This could potentially cause bigger, and more costly, problems down the road. A pre-purchase building inspection will tell you what you need to know, the small issues and the potentially bigger ones. This will reduce your chances of getting burned when purchasing a new home.
What is a pre-purchase inspection?
A building inspection is like a physical check-up. It is an objective visual examination of the physical structure, electrical, plumbing and mechanical systems, as well as the interior and exterior finishes of your home. A pre-purchase building inspection will essentially tell you the health of your future home.
A building inspection is a vital part of buying a home. Purchasing a home is probably the most significant investment you will make and one that requires each buyer to do their due diligence. A building inspection will provide you with information on the condition of your home, so you can avoid making a poor investment that drains your income and leaves you unhappy. It reduces the possible impact of encountering any unknown issues with that home that could potentially cost you tens of thousands of dollars down the road. Knowing the details before you purchase mitigates risk.
What to expect with a pre-purchase building inspection?
Home inspection services include a detailed investigation of the roof, roof cavity, leaks, exteriors, interiors, foundations, site, electrical, pests, health and safety, plumbing , drainage and workmanship. Your building surveyor is looking to ensure there are no defects and will use specialized tools to detect problems not easily seen with the human eye.
