Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, 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 solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
