Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Mount Cook building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
