Pre-purchase building inspections

BUILDING INSPECTION REPORTS

A pre-purchase or pre-sale building inspection carried out by a professional and accompanied by a thorough and detailed Building Report, will give you and your bank, the confidence you are doing the right thing.

The last thing you need is unforeseen surprises after buying a property. To give you peace of mind, we provide detailed and professional property inspection reports based on the NZS4306:2005 Residential Property Inspection. Moreover, contractors can use our reports to plan, quote and build.

A property may seem in tip-top condition from the outside, but it is difficult to know the foundation or roof's state. Also, the presence of damp odours could indicate a potential issue.

For building reports in the Nelson region, you can turn to us with confidence. We have 30 years experience in the building game, having started from a humble carpentry apprentice to managing major projects. We know what to look for so you can make informed decisions.

Due Diligence Building File Document Checking & Reporting

In conjunction with the building pre-purchase inspection I can assist you and your real estate agent with your due diligence with a building file document report. I request on your behalf a LIM (Land Information Memorandum) and the property file, then check against what is on the property file and what is on the property from on-site inspections, photos, satellite imagery. Once this check is completed, I provide a written report outlining any findings and any discrepancies found on the property.

Sometimes there are tricky issues found, and if you wish to proceed further, I can provide possible solutions and feasibility costings for the remedial works to the land or buildings. This can help all parties involved in their negotiations and in the successful transaction of the property. This service is open to anyone and any where in New Zealand.
