What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Mount Cook building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require 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 be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
