The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
