What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Petone building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
