Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Mount Cook building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
