The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
