What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Petone building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
