If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Hutt Central building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
