The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Petone building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Expert Building Inspections Petone

Take Care to 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 in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
