Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Petone building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are 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 can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
