What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Upper Hutt building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re 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: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
