Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Petone building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
