The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Houghton Bay building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
