What is a Builders Report or inspection?
Every property you are planning to buy should be paired with a Builders Report or Builders Inspection Report. The report will outline and cover the current state of the property. The report covers minor defects, significant defects, safety hazards and has detailed pictures of the houses or buildings. It covers a list of elements but is not limited to exterior and interior weather tightness, insulation, roof and cladding condition checks and that the structure is sound.
Property Report Examples:
- Adequate ventilation in internal wet areas creates an environment that is conducive to the formation and development of mould. Remedy and recommendation are to install an exhaust fan to mitigate the increased buildup.
- The door stop is missing or is inadequate to stop the door handle from damaging the wall.
Even the small problems are picked up in the evaluation which can compromise the quality of the dwelling.
With different ages of homes in New Zealand, there are many different problem areas. Property reports are a measure that can protect your market value, investment but also the health of the person or persons living in the house.
