The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Mount Cook building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you 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 issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
