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 solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Petone building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
