Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Petone building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
