Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Houghton Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
