When you're ready to buy your dream home, booking a building inspection is an essential step to safeguard your biggest asset. At Straight Up Inspections, we offer non-invasive, same-day house and building inspections across Tauranga, the Mount, Papamoa, Rotorua, the Bay of Plenty, and parts of the Waikato region. Here's why a pre-purchase building inspection is crucial for both buyers and sellers.
Before you finalize your purchase, it's critical to ensure that your new home is structurally sound. Relying solely on the opinions of a building-savvy friend or a real estate agent isn't enough. They might miss significant issues that only a trained professional can detect.
In New Zealand, the pre-purchase building inspection industry is not highly regulated, meaning sellers aren't required to conduct a building inspection before selling their property. Therefore, when making an offer on a house, it's wise to include a building inspection as a condition of your offer.
This condition allows a building inspector to identify any hidden structural problems, such as leaky issues, moisture, mould, and other internal and external defects. You'll receive a comprehensive building report, complete with photos of inspected areas, detailing all the necessary checks.
Including a building inspection in your offer provides peace of mind by ensuring you understand the property's structural condition. This knowledge enables you to make an informed decision when purchasing your dream home with its designer bathroom that includes a frameless shower and other modern features. Additionally, a building report helps you monitor minor issues and prevent them from developing into significant problems.
Depending on the findings from the building report, you might be able to negotiate the property's price or request necessary repairs before finalizing the purchase. This can save you from unexpected expenses and ensure your investment is sound.
For sellers, booking a building inspection is equally important. Identifying issues before the unconditional stage of selling can prevent losing a sale. A comprehensive building report provides transparency about the property's condition, answering potential buyers' questions and speeding up the sales process.
A building inspection is crucial whether you're buying or selling a property. It alleviates potential issues and ensures all parties involved are informed and confident in their decisions. At Straight Up Inspections, we provide thorough pre-purchase and pre-sale building inspections, identifying overlooked issues and clearly communicating the property's condition.
