Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
