What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
