Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Wellington building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
