The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
