The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
