What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Ōtāne building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed 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 when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
