Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Houghton Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
