The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
