A property can look perfect during a viewing, but important issues aren't always obvious. Akaki offers two levels of pre-purchase inspection, so you can choose the assessment that suits your property and your needs.
Our Basic Pre-Purchase Structural Inspection focuses specifically on the key structural components of the property — a straightforward answer to a straightforward question: is the structure of this house in good condition?
Assessment of observable issues relating to the property's foundations.
Inspection for observable structural issues affecting walls and associated elements.
Assessment of the roof structure and observable issues affecting the roof.
Is the structure of this house in good condition?
That's the question the Basic inspection answers — a focused assessment of the property's structural condition, without the broader property assessment included in our Comprehensive inspection.
As well as inspecting the foundations, walls and roof, our Comprehensive inspection assesses a wider range of property elements — a broader answer to a broader question: what's the overall condition of this property, and what issues should I know about before buying?
Foundations, walls and roof remain a core part of the inspection.
We test power points and socket wiring, earth leakage (RCD) protection, and smoke alarm location and operation.
We operate all mixers and test for moisture near plumbing points, flagging any serious maintenance issues we find.
Issues requiring maintenance or attention, including observable deterioration.
Observable issues relating to building and property compliance.
Our electrical checks cover observable issues only and aren't a replacement for an assessment by a licensed electrician.
Every property is different. Here's the simple difference between our two pre-purchase inspection levels.
