What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Petone building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.

Inspections of the property or house inspections are a must nowadays when buying the home. Due to the growing cost of homes and the rising costs of building maintenance, it's crucial to know precisely what you're purchasing.
