What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Mount Cook building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
