What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
