Pre-Purchase
building inspection For Buyers in Tauranga
You are not just buying the property in its current state, you are also taking ownership of all the overdue and future maintenance that comes with it.
With our findings, you will be able to obtain quotes from relevant sub-trades to determine the true cost of the property you are interested in. This is a very critical part of the due diligence process and is often overlooked due to poor advice, misinformation or plainly just being pressured to hurry things along! We believe our services have an equal value to other services in the circle of due diligence.
You pay a solicitor and a valuer to check for things that could hinder your investment, so what effects could unplanned repairs and maintenance have on your finances, your relationships, and your mental well-being?
All findings are documented with clear images and sentences that are easy to understand and cannot be misconstrued. Take a look at our article on pre purchase building inspection reports: What you need to know about the cost.
We know that trying to make sense of a detailed builders report can be overwhelming especially to those who have little to no knowledge of building terms. That is why we have simplified our wording as much as we can without compromising the quality of the report.
Pre-Sale
Building Inspection For Sellers in Tauranga
The point of a Pre-Sale inspection is to inform you of any overdue maintenance and defects that could frighten away potential buyers.
