Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Mount Cook building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
