Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Petone building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Petone

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
