What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Petone building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could 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 best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
