Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Upper Hutt building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
