Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Houghton Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
