The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Petone building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
