The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Petone building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
