What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Mount Cook building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

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

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
