Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure 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: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
