The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Petone building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
