What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Lower Hutt building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.

Does that alteration have permission from the building? Complete building inspection reports can uncover what building work has and hasn't got a building consent.

Peace of Mind
