Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
