What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Petone building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
