What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Petone building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
