What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home 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 be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Petone building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically 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 in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.

Does this change require permission from the building? A thorough building inspection report can uncover what building work doesn't have a building consent.
Save with Professional Building Inspections
Inspections of properties or houses provide an objective review rather than what the real estate agent thinks could be the best answer.
Peace of Mind
