The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
