Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Petone building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Petone

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
