The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re 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: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
