Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Wellington building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
