Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Upper Hutt building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
