What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Petone building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
