Whether you are buying your dream home or property for investment, what you're buying is secondhand.
It is important to know what state the property you are buying is in, so just like a secondhand car, you should have it thoroughly checked out prior to purchase, as unseen issues could cost you potentially everything.
Getting a pre-purchase building inspection completed by Dunedin House Inspections; professional
pre-purchase building inspectors with the appropriate experience, followed by a written report can arm you, your bank and insurance provider with the information and confidence you need to make the right decision for you, and an ability to better negotiate your sale and purchase agreement.
WE WORK FOR YOU
The land agent has the hard job of convincing you to purchase the vendor's property, with no pre purchase building inspection experience whatsoever. Getting a building report assessment completed, not only helps safeguard you and your investment but also helps to protect the vendor and the land agent.
Dunedin House Inspection’s sole purpose is to;
-
Provide you with easy to read and understandable detailed pre purchase building reports
-
Delivery of reports by email to you and if required, your bank, lawyers or insurance providers at your written request
-
Provide prompt service: In a hurry? We can give you a verbal report (via phone if need be), after the site inspection.
-
Followed by the supply of a written report approximately 24hrs - 48hrs after the site inspection, (or the evening of, except when it falls on a weekend or public holiday).
WRITTEN PRE PURCHASE BUILDING REPORTS

Discuss any concerns or issues you may have
-
Give current up-to-date advice on any potential remedial work required and plans you may have for the future so that you know what (if anything), can be done to repair such findings. This gives all parties the ability to better negotiate.

Give advice on regular care for your home and things to watch out for in the future
MOISTURE AND ELECTRICAL TESTING
Safe, non-invasive
We carry the Trotec T660 and the Trotec T650
non-invasive moisture meter and use it where required. This process is included in our standard pricing. This gives you the best opportunity to identify decay/rot or areas taking in moisture that might not otherwise be seen by a visual inspection.
We are able to arrange Qualified Electrical Inspections as requested, on your behalf, usually at the same time as we are inspecting. Please note that this costs extra and will be provided and billed to you separately to our report.
ASBESTOS AND METH TESTING
Avoid unpleasant surprises
We are able to provide advice on where you can go to get testing and or further information with Asbestos and Meth testing.
