Because the broker set a financial limit for hidden defects when selling the building, this raised doubts about the building. To allay doubts, an expert report was commissioned, which identified a roof leak and saved money on repairing the defects.
I ordered a pre-warranty inspection for my new house so that I could present an independent assessment of the required warranty work to the developer. Since I am not a builder myself and wanted to reduce the points of dispute with the developer, an independent report seemed the most reasonable option. In addition, I am not a construction specialist myself, and if I had common sense, I would have discovered only half of the defects myself by looking at the report. The inspector arrived on time and was very professional, thanks to which I received quite a lot of useful information about both the defects and the good aspects during the inspection. In summary, it can be said that the pre-warranty inspection is worth its price.
My partner and I are extremely satisfied with the entire service. At first, of course, we doubted whether it was worth ordering a service that cost several hundred euros. Since we were planning to buy a house in an old house, we still did this inspection. Thanks to the pre-purchase inspection, we also decided not to buy this home. So what did we get for it? In addition to a very thorough inspection, we also received a lot of knowledge about what to look for and a thorough explanation of why things that the broker said were in order (which we could not check ourselves) did not reveal the full truth. Excellent communication and ten points from us.
A very necessary service for every home buyer. I recommend!
