Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Wellington building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
