What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Petone building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
