Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Houghton Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
