The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Petone building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
