What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Mount Cook building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look 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 caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
