Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Petone building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
