What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Wellington building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
