The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Petone building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
