Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Hutt Central building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
