The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Houghton Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
