Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Mount Cook building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.
