What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Paremata building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household 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 if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
