The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Wellington building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
