Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Mount Cook building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
