What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Petone building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
