Ensure there are no ‘hidden surprises’ in your potential purchase with a Builders Report from us at First Inspections property inspection services in Taupo New Zealand NZ.

Buying a house?
Can you afford an additional $100,000, 6 months after moving in, to repair the leaking roof, rotting framing and borer infested foundations?

Purchasing a property can be the biggest investment many of us will make in our lifetime. Choosing the right property is not a decision to be made lightly. Ensure there are no ‘hidden surprises’ in your potential purchase with a Pre Purchase Property Inspection.

Too many buyers have their dreams shattered shortly after moving into their new property when they discover there are costly repairs required. A Pre purchase inspection, will ensure you are aware of all the maintenance and remedial requirements, both costly,and minor, prior to you owning the property!

Selling your home?
Are you prepared to spend thousands on advertising, and 6 months preparing your home for viewings, only to have buyers walk away because of minor repair requirements, you were not even aware of?

Many purchasers, solicitors and lending institutions are now requesting Property Inspections (Builders Reports) as part of the conditions on a Sale & Purchase Agreement. Often these reports may highlight areas requiring attention that can sometimes cost little or nothing to repair or enhance, but can still be seen as a deterrent to purchasers.

Obtaining a Pre Sale Property Inspection gives you the opportunity to rectify any areas identified prior to potential purchasers ‘walking away’. Your property will become more appealing to purchasers, placing it at the top of their Property List. The negotiation process can be smoother, and the time taken for a sale to go unconditional quicker as you are one step ahead.

So what will a Property Inspection Report tell me?

During an inspection the following areas will be assessed (subject to safe and adequate access):
  • Site
  • Subfloor
  • Exterior
  • Roof Exterior
  • Roof Space
  • Interior
  • Services (if applicable)
  • Identified ancillary spaces and buildings
At the conclusion of the inspection (or during for a verbal report), you will be advised of any areas of:
  • Significant defects
  • Particular attributes
  • Gradual deterioration
  • Significant maintenance requirements
In general a Property Inspection will give you an idea of the condition of the property and the areas that may require attention (and could cost you money!), or, if visible, may have caused problems in the past, and that the average home owner or property buyer (without 20 years experience in the residential building industry) may not notice!

How much will an inspection cost?

The cost of an inspection report varies depending on the size of the home. Please contact First Inspections Ltd today for a quote specific to your requirements.

And remember, the cost of a report, is only a fraction of the cost you could be up for, should issues be identified too late!
