What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

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

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Mount Cook building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
