Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Mount Cook building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
