The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
