Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Petone building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
