What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Petone building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
