The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
