The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Wellington building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Wellington

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
