The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Houghton Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
