The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Houghton Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed 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 are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
