Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
