What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Houghton Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
