The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Lower Hutt building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
