The Importance of Pre-Delivery Building Inspection
Buying a home is one of the most important investments you’ll ever make—but before you settle in, there’s one important step that you must never skip: pre-delivery inspection. When you are purchasing a single-family home, apartment, or commercial property, a professional inspection ensures you catch potential problems before they become costly headaches down the road.
Hidden Issues in New Homes
Imagine you’ve signed the contract, chosen your finishes, and are already picturing your new living room setup. Everything looks perfect—until tiny cracks appear in the basement, the plumbing fails during a rainy season, or the electrical system doesn’t meet long-term safety needs.
Without a thorough inspection, these issues often go unnoticed until after move-in, when repairs can be far more disruptive and expensive.
The Cost of Skipping Inspections
A 2024 survey of home ownership revealed that 78% of homeowners who skirted inspections discovered major problems in the first year of home ownership, with average repair prices at over $4,200 USD. Some common problems were:
- Structural issues
- Faulty heating and cooling systems
- Mold-causing leaks
- Electrical hazards
These problems not only tighten your purse but also compromise safety and comfort.
