The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Petone building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and 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.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
