Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Mount Cook building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
