Asbestos Testing and Removal
Buying a house is one of the biggest investments in life; it’s important to do your research before you sign the contract. Just as you wouldn’t buy a car without taking it for a test drive, you shouldn’t buy a house without a pre-purchase building inspection. Fairview Property Inspections can help you avoid nasty unforeseen repairs which can turn your dream home into a nightmare. We will provide you with peace of mind so you can make an informed decision about how much are willing to pay for a home.
Standard building inspections
Pre-purchase home inspections are offered and carried out by many different service providers. A standard building inspection is generally only a visual inspection of the subject property. It’s important to note the following may or may not be included so take the time to have a good look at what’s being offered in the Building Report and get a quote for all additional things you want to have examined, such as visible signs of asbestos problems, pest-related issues etc.
- Electrical wiring, plumbing
- Drainage
- Gas fitting,
- Concealed damp proofing,
- Fire hazards and more may not be included,
Inspection reports that include an estimate of the cost of fixing major problems may be helpful when negotiating the contract with the vendor.
Tips for finding a good building inspection
Suitably qualified persons to carry out a home inspection include a licensed builder (LBP), a surveyor or an architect. These professionals can often uncover faults that may be hard to identify to the untrained and ensure that the content of the inspection report complies with the New Zealand Building Code.
Before you hire a building inspector, it is important to check they have adequate insurance for professional indemnity.
