Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Mount Cook building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
