Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important
You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?
If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.
A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Houghton Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you 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 issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to 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: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.
Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.
Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.
Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
