Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Wellington building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
