The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Petone building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or 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 household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
