What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
