What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Houghton Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.

Inspections of property or house inspections offer an unbiased review rather than what the estate agent thinks is the right answer.
