Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Wellington building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
