Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Upper Hutt building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
