Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered 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 specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Mount Cook building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
