What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications 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 where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist 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.
