The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Wadestown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until 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 your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
