The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important
Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?
If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.
A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Petone building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.
The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.
Warning Signs & Red Flags
Any of the following might be costly to deal with:
Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.
Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.
Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.
Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
